Nevrapraxia

Neurapraxia is a partial loss of tactile sensation in the skin area after severe nerve damage. Sensory and nerve fibers are damaged by injury or surgery. Because the nerves are close to the skin, the area loses its ability to perceive sensation. Symptoms appear gradually and may include burning, tingling, or numbness.

Symptoms and signs of trigeminal neuralgia

Common neuralgic pain associated with damage to the trigeminal nerve is characterized by the following symptoms:

- painful attacks lasting from several seconds to several minutes;

- limitation of facial mobility, smiles or grimaces; - change in facial expressions. - swelling of the face; - increased sweating of the face and upper body;

Symptoms may include: sharp or dull pain on only one side of the face, the pain may come and go, and may get worse when certain areas are touched. The intensity of the pain may also vary. The discomfort is often most intense in the morning and subsides as the day progresses. It may feel like something is damaging your face from the inside. Trigeminal neuralgia can lead to significant mental disorders - from stress and anxiety to depression and sleep disorders. Many people think of trigeminal neuralgia as a grimace, and the expression “migraine-like pain” is common to compare one type of trigeminal facial neuralgia to migraine, but there is compelling evidence that they differ in origin. Migraine pain usually occurs throbbing and bilateral, often accompanied by nausea and light intolerance, while facial neuralgia may not cause nausea and has no sensitivity to light. The presence of a lumbago when turning the head indicates that they have a different origin.
