- ÍtemAcceso AbiertoActualización de neuralgia del trigémino. Revisión sistemática(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2023) Jimmy Javier, Molina Verdugo; Torres Criollo, Larry Miguel; 0302893086; ., .Introduction: Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a pathology characterized by intense unilateral facial pain and commonly affecting the maxillary and mandibular branches of the trigeminal nerve. Its multifactorial etiology makes identifying more current and effective diagnostic and therapeutic methods essential. Objective: To identify trigeminal neuralgia's updated clinical, diagnostic, and therapeutic characteristics. Methodology: A systematic review was conducted according to the recommendations of the PRISMA 2020 declaration, based on the literature available in data portals "PubMed, Science Direct, SciELO, Elsevier, and Google Scholar" from the last five years, including a bibliography between the Q1-Q4 quartiles reflecting the impact index of each journal and evidence levels classified by the Oxford scale. Results: A database was generated by searching and screening the scientific bibliography to provide quality information and thus achieve a proper identification and treatment of the disease. Conclusions: After reviewing the articles, it was concluded that the primary etiology is idiopathic. The diagnosis is clinical according to Headache Disorders Classification criteria in its third edition and three-dimensional T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging for the assessment of nerve structures; some therapeutic options exist, the carbamazepine considered the first-line pharmacological treatment and the microvascular decompression surgical therapy as an option in cases of low tolerance.
