The system delivers the low-level electrical stimulation to the branches of the
trigeminal nerve, which sends therapeutic signals to the parts of the brain thought to be involved in ADHD.
Endoscope-assisted microvascular decompression of the
trigeminal nerve. Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg 2000; 123:218-23.
Patients with serious morbidity who cannot undergo invasive surgical procedures safely may benefit from percutaneous injection of alcohol and PRF into the painful peripheral
trigeminal nerve branch.
Herpes zoster ophthalmicus (HZO) is caused by the reactivation of the varicella zoster virus in the ophthalmic branch of the
trigeminal nerve (2).
Notably, the role of miR-186 in
trigeminal nerve damage-induced neuropathic pain remains unclear.
Cranial dura mater which is held responsible for the generation of headaches is intensely innervated by
trigeminal nerve fibers and contains a large number of mast cells (3,6).
This gives rise to severe pain along the distribution of ophthalmic division of
trigeminal nerve. Trismus can occur due to involvement of mandibular nerve.
The research suggests that sex hormones affect cells around the
trigeminal nerve and connected blood vessels in the head, with estrogens -- at their highest levels in women of reproductive age -- being particularly important for sensitising these cells to migraine triggers.
There was reduced sensation in the distribution of the opthalmic (V1) and maxillary (V2) branches of the
trigeminal nerve. On nasal endoscopy, a pale, soft, submucosal mass was visible in the nasal cavity.
The ratio of the largest cross length of the
trigeminal nerve to that of the brainstem in cat was approximately one-seventh (1,070 pixels out of 7,380 pixels), while the ratio in human was approximately one-twelfth (2,101 pixels out of 26,396 pixels).
