| Abstract: | Multimodal evoked potentials in patients with trigeminal neuralgia are analyzed in the paper. The comprehensive studies of cortical trigeminal somatosensory evoked potentials, visual evoked potentials, and brainstem auditory evoked potentials have revealed their changes that are indicative of the impaired central mechanisms of afferentation in patients with trigeminal abnormality. The findings are discussed in the light of the theory of generator mechanisms of neuropathological pain syndromes. |
