Resumen
PINTA-RIOFRIO, Mario David; CHECA-HUILCATOMA, Sebastián Alejandro y SANCHEZ-SANCHEZ, Javier Estuardo. Therapeutic options in trigeminal neuralgia. Rev Ciencias Médicas [online]. 2023, vol.27, n.6 Epub 01-Nov-2023. ISSN 1561-3194.
Introduction:
the cranial nerve V is responsible for sensation in the face, including the mouth. Trigeminal neuralgia causes sudden intense pain in the face, which can be shooting, shooting or sharp.
Objective:
to describe the therapeutic options in trigeminal neuralgia.
Methods:
a literature review was performed by searching the Scopus and PubMed/MedLine databases for information. Clinical trials and meta-analyses published in the last five years were included.
Results:
both nerve growth factor and brain-derived neurotrophic factor can cause and treat pain. The occurrence of pain is a biological self-defense mechanism; during treatment, the therapeutic effect of neurotrophic factors can be maintained and pain can be reduced.
Conclusions:
based on the results, the classification of trigeminal neuralgia now includes two scientifically based subgroups, idiopathic and classic trigeminal neuralgia. A diagnostic evaluation is necessary in order to offer an adequate treatment.
