RESUMO
Neuropathic, stomatological and instrumental examination was performed in 86 patients with trigeminal neuropathies admitted to a specialized dental neurological department. The disease was found clinically heterogeneous, requiring a systemic approach to its treatment based on current knowledge of the disease etiology.

On the basis of an analysis of evoked potentials (EPs) the authors have studied alterations in the bioelectrical activity in experimental trigeminal neurites (neuropathies). The results have shown that the most important electrophysiological signs of experimental trigeminal neurites is a decrease in the amplitude of the positive phase of the vertex potential. This appears to reflect a weakened conductivity function of the nerve due to its pathomorphological changes and a higher amplitude of the negative phase of evoked potentials indicating hyperactivation of the nonspecific system.

Acupuncture was used in 82 patients with trigeminal neuralgila. In 17 patients trigeminal neuralgia was predominantly of the central and in 65 of the peripheral genesis. Selection of points for acupuncture was based on the findings about electrical conductivity of symmetrical acupuncture points on the patient's face. The study has shown that the method of acupuncture in patients with trigeminal neuralgia should be used differentially. It is effective only in patients with peripheral trigeminal neuralgia.
