The lingual nerve is a branch of the posterior trunk of the mandibular nerve. It provides sensation and taste to the ipsilateral anterior two-thirds of the tongue. Posttraumatic neuropathy of the lingual nerve can be chronic and debilitating long after the inciting trauma. In this operative video, the authors describe a novel technique for the treatment of lingual nerve neuropathy with neuromodulation. They present a case of a 69-year-old female with posttraumatic lingual nerve neuropathy after left molar extraction. The patient reported 95% symptom improvement after the procedure. This video demonstrates the feasibility of lingual nerve neuromodulation. The video can be found here: https://youtu.be/l-CKP8-8eqk.
舌神经是下颌神经后干的一个分支。它为同侧舌前2/3提供感觉和味觉。舌神经创伤后神经病变在引发创伤后的很长时间内可能是慢性且使人衰弱的。在这段手术视频中，作者描述了一种用神经调节治疗舌神经病变的新技术。他们展示了一名69岁女性在拔除左磨牙后出现创伤后舌神经病变的病例。该患者术后报告症状改善了95%。这段视频证明了舌神经调节的可行性。视频可在此处查看：https://youtu.be/l-CKP8-8eqk 。
