Neuropathic orofacial pain is a general term employed to describe a number of clinical syndromes, which may be spontaneous or triggered by local trauma or systemic disorders. Symptomatically these painful syndromes may be episodic or continuous and are often difficult to distinguish from dental pathology. In the present article, we review the diagnosis, pathophysiology and therapeutic approaches to trigeminal and glossopharyngeal neuralgias, orofacial pain associated with herpetic infection, persistent idiopathic facial pain (previously termed atypical facial pain), post-traumatic orofacial neuropathy and neuritis.
神经性口面部疼痛是一个通用术语，用于描述多种临床综合征，这些综合征可能是自发的，也可能由局部创伤或全身性疾病引发。从症状上来说，这些疼痛综合征可能是发作性的或持续性的，并且常常难以与牙齿病变相区分。在本文中，我们综述了三叉神经痛和舌咽神经痛、与疱疹感染相关的口面部疼痛、持续性特发性面部疼痛（以前称为非典型面部疼痛）、创伤后口面部神经病变和神经炎的诊断、病理生理学及治疗方法。
