Abstract
Acute injury of the trigeminal nerve or its branches by trauma or iatrogenic injury may result in post-traumatic neuropathy (PTN) of the trigeminal nerve. These patients suffer from a chronic and debilitating constellation of symptoms including paresthesias, allodynia, dysesthesias, or hyperalgesia. Treatments include medications, pulsed radiofrequency modulation, and microsurgical repair. Trigeminal nerve stimulation has been previously reported for trigeminal neuropathy, however V3 implantation is often avoided due to an elevated migration risk secondary to mandibular motion.
