Application of artificial intelligence in diagnosis and treatment of trigeminal neuralgia
Trigeminal neuralgia(TN)has a high incidence rate and severe pain in facial pain.From the angle of etiology,primary TN pathogenesis is not yet clear,often associated with neurovascular compression.Secondary TN is associated with multiple sclerosis or cerebellopontine angle tumors and herpes zoster infec-tion.The cause of idiopathic TN is unclear.Drug therapy and surgical intervention are commonly used in clini-cal treatment,but many patients have no cure and the pain comes repeatedly.Artificial intelligence(AI)has been widely used in different medical fields to achieve the accurate diagnosis,treatment regimen optimization and comprehensive assessment.This article aims to review the application progress of artificial intelligence in the diagnosis and treatment of TN.
