Altered Spontaneous Brain Activity in Patients With Idiopathic Trigeminal Neuralgia: A Resting-state Functional MRI Study

Discussion: Our results showed that ITN patients exhibited significantly abnormal spontaneous brain activity in several brain regions that are involved in pain modulation and perception. The present study reflects the maladaptive process of daily pain attacks and may enhance the understanding of how chronic pain affects local intrinsic brain activity.
