Persistent idiopathic facial pain (PIFP) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) may coexist and can be improved with ADHD medications. Thus, clinicians should screen for ADHD by a multidisciplinary approach when treating PIFP and differentiate between other odontogenic disorders.
We report a case of a woman with persistent idiopathic facial pain (PIFP) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) that markedly improved with the administration of a combination of aripiprazole (APZ) and methylphenidate (MP) treatment. Screening for ADHD and administration of APZ and/or MP may be considered in treating PIFP.

我们报告了一例患有持续性特发性面部疼痛(PIFP)和注意力缺陷多动障碍(ADHD)的女性病例,其在使用阿立哌唑(APZ)和哌甲酯(MP)联合治疗后有显著改善。在治疗PIFP时可考虑筛查ADHD并使用APZ和/或MP。
