Trigeminal neuropathic pain disorders can be some of the most challenging for both patients and providers. This course aims to provide participants with clues into differentiating between the various trigeminal neuropathies, including various episodic and continuous neuropathic pains. Here, participants will explore the condition’s pathophysiology for a deeper understanding of the origin of this complex orofacial pain. It will emphasize the importance of timely symptom recognition and diagnosis and the importance of working on a multidisciplinary team for the best outcomes.
At the conclusion of this course, participants should be able to:
