Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Pain Management
  • Neurosurgery

Background:

  • Craniofacial pain disorders present significant challenges in management.
  • Peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) has emerged as a viable therapeutic option.
  • Trigeminal branch stimulation (TBS) specifically targets neuropathic pain in the craniofacial region.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the applications and efficacy of trigeminal branch stimulation for craniofacial pain.
  • To outline electrode configurations and adjunctive neuromodulation strategies.
  • To highlight TBS as a treatment for medically refractory neuropathic pain.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of literature on trigeminal branch stimulation.
  • Analysis of electrode arrays including supraorbital, infraorbital, preauricular, and mandibular.
  • Examination of combination therapies with other neuromodulation techniques.

Main Results:

  • Trigeminal branch stimulation is indicated for trigeminal neuralgia, neuropathic pain, deafferentation pain, postherpetic neuralgia, supraorbital neuralgia, and migraines.
  • Supraorbital and infraorbital arrays are common, with other configurations also described.
  • TBS can be used alone or combined with occipital nerve, sphenopalatine ganglion, or Gasserian ganglion stimulation.

Conclusions:

  • Trigeminal branch stimulation is a safe and effective neuromodulation therapy for craniofacial pain.
  • It provides a minimally invasive solution for medically refractory neuropathic pain.
  • TBS offers versatility in electrode placement and combination therapy.
