Detailed Description
This multi-center prospective observational cohort study aims to investigate the prevalence of comorbid Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) among trigeminal neuralgia (TN) patients. Trigeminal neuralgia patients with active TN status from three clinical sites (University of Minnesota, School of Dentistry, Orofacial Pain Clinic; Mhealth Fairview, Clinical Surgical Center, Neurosurgery Clinic; John Hopkins University, Anesthesiology, and Critical Care Clinic) could enroll in this study voluntary. All the patients will be evaluated by a provider using standard clinical assessment for TN and TMD, along with validated RedCap questionnaires for TN and TMD diagnosis, and be followed up every six months for 1-2 years.
