Post-traumatic trigeminal neuropathy: correlation between objective and subjective assessments and a prediction model for neurosensory recovery.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Post-traumatic trigeminal neuropathy (PTN) can have a substantial effect on patient well-being. However, the relation between the neuropathic symptoms and their effect on psychosocial functioning remains a matter of debate. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between objective and subjective assessments of neurosensory function in PTN and predict neurosensory outcome using baseline measurements.

Methods

This prospective observational cohort study included patients diagnosed with PTN at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, University Hospital Leuven, Belgium, between April 2018 and May 2020. Standardized objective and subjective neurosensory examinations were recorded simultaneously on multiple occasions during the follow-up perio
