CLINICAL AND NEUROLOGICAL FEATURES OF TRIGEMINAL NEURALGIA AND PREVENTIVE MEASURES

Currently, peripheral nerve diseases have become among the most relevant medical issues. Among them, trigeminal neuralgia is one of the most common disorders of the peripheral nervous system. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate patients suffering from trigeminal neuralgia (TN). For this purpose, a study was conducted on 200 patients aged 17 to 70 years diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia who were examined by a neurologist at the Jondor District Multidisciplinary Central Polyclinic. In the study population, 52 patients (26%) were male and 148 patients (74%) were female.
