Facial pain is a debilitating disorder if left untreated. Too often, patients are labeled as having psychopathology when face pain etiology is unclear. These patients are categorized as "atypical," "idiopathic," or "psychogenic." Cases of facial pain involving neuropathic, neurovascular, musculoskeletal, as well as intracranial and extracranial systems will be reviewed. Peripheral and central mechanisms associated with these disorders are used to provide an update of these frequently seen clinical issues.
面部疼痛若不治疗会成为一种使人衰弱的病症。很多时候,当面部疼痛的病因不明时,患者会被诊断为患有精神病理学疾病。这些患者被归类为“非典型性”、“特发性”或“心因性”。本文将对涉及神经性、神经血管性、肌肉骨骼性以及颅内和颅外系统的面部疼痛病例进行综述。与这些病症相关的外周和中枢机制将用于更新这些常见的临床问题。
