Why is it important?
Effective evidence-based management of neuralgic pain requires a thorough appreciation of the underlying mechanism of pain. In this review, we describe the updated knowledge on the pathophysiology, clinical features, diagnostic criteria, and management of TN, GPN, and MPDS.
Perspectives
This review has outlined the current knowledge of pathophysiology, diagnostic criteria, and treatment of three common neuralgic maxillofacial pain syndromes. TN, GPN, and MPDS can present with common signs. Hence, the appropriate use of definite diagnostic measures is significant to support the differential diagnosis.
