Atypical facial pain (AFP) was an umbrella term used to categorize all facial pains that didn't mimic the classic symptoms of trigeminal neuralgia — severe pain that could last seconds or minutes and be brought on by triggers. In recent years, however, AFP has come to describe facial pain with no known cause.
Trigeminal neuralgia is sudden, severe facial pain. It's often described as a sharp shooting pain or like having an electric shock in the jaw, teeth or gums. It usually happens in short, unpredictable attacks that can last from a few seconds to about 2 minutes.
Facial pain is common and often the result of headaches and injuries. However, other causes of facial pain include nerve conditions, jaw and dental problems, and infections. Facial pain can originate from a specific area of the face, or it may radiate from another part of the head.
INTRODUCTION. Orofacial pain includes, by definition, pain that originates from oral structures accompanied by facial pain. The facial area includes the region demarcated as below the orbitomeatal line, above the neck, and anterior to the ears.
In addition to migraine, the commonest causes are: Pain from teeth or jaw which can radiate to the temple or neck. Chronic daily headache. Trigeminal neuralgia (rare)
When skin hurts to touch, it means your nerves are oversensitive or your brain is overreacting to stimulus. A number of pain conditions can make you hypersensitive to pain, like migraines, diabetes, shingles, and complex regional pain syndrome. There are medications and treatments that can help you cope with the pain.
Maxillary sinusitis can cause your upper jaw, teeth and cheeks to ache and may be mistaken for toothache. Ethmoid sinusitis can cause pain around your eyes and the sides of your nose. Sphenoid sinusitis can cause pain around your eyes, at the top of your head or in your temples. You may also have earache and neck pain.
To treat trigeminal neuralgia, your doctor usually will prescribe medications to lessen or block the pain signals sent to your brain. Anticonvulsants. Doctors usually prescribe carbamazepine (Tegretol, Carbatrol, others) for trigeminal neuralgia, and it's been shown to be effective in treating the condition.
To date there is no cure for atypical facial pain. Most frequently tricyclic antidepressants such as amitriptyline and imipramine, MAO inhibitors or anticonvulsives such as carbamazepine and phenytoin are used, which only alleviate the pain.
The symptoms of atypical trigeminal neuralgia include: A constant, chronic dull ache or boring pain on one side of your face and jaw. Abnormal sensations of numbness or tingling around your eye, cheek or jaw. Constant dull, aching sensations in your jaw or teeth.
Atypical TN is characterized by a unilateral, prominent constant and severe aching, boring or burning pain superimposed upon otherwise typical TN symptoms. This should be differentiated from cases of typical TN that develop a minor aching or burning pain within the affected distribution of the trigeminal nerve.
People who have had head trauma or numerous dental procedures have an increased chance of developing atypical facial pain. Psychological conditions, such as anxiety and depression, are also risk factors for atypical facial pain, with stressful life events sometimes preceding the onset of the pain.
