A new surgical technique for treatment of neuropathic pain conceived by compressed inferior alveolar nerve.

T Orofacial pain (OFP) and headache disorders are one of the most prevalent pain disorders, which affect over a quarter of the population. It induces significant reduction in quality of life and causes severe disability. Trigeminal neuropathy due to peripheral trigeminal nerve (CNV) compression is considered an important cause of OFP[1,2]. This postulate was driven from the evidence of other areas of the body such as the cubital tunnel syndrome due to ulnar nerve compression at elbow, as well as the carpal tunnel syndrome due to median nerve compression at wrist. Accordingly, there are numerous existing compression neuropathies that may affect different parts of the body[3].
