Features of Neurovascular Orofacial Pain Compared to Painful Posttraumatic Trigeminal Neuropathy.

CONCLUSION: NVOP differs from PTTN in parameters essential to diagnosis: periodicity of pain, presence of autonomic and systemic accompanying signs, throbbing pain quality, and bilateral presentation. NVOP is amenable to abortive and prophylactic antimigraine therapies, distinguishing NVOP from PTTN in clinical features, treatment, and prognosis. PMID: 31560735 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
