Management of Painful Post-Traumatic Trigeminal Neuropathy With Topical Anesthesia Combined With a Psychological Approach: A Case Report.

This case report presents a patient with painful post-traumatic trigeminal neuropathy (PPTTN) following a tooth extraction, requiring re-surgical intervention. The patient had several critical systemic conditions, necessitating the minimal use of systemic medications. This case responded favorably to the use of topical anesthesia combined with a psychological approach. Following a follow-up period of over 12 months, the patient reported a reduction in pain. Although the pain did not entirely resolve, the patient was able to coexist with it without significant distress and reported an improvement in quality of life.
