Diagnostic workup including magnetic resonance imaging of brain and computerized tomography of the sinuses are usually negative, but there have been few cases of a nasal contact point. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Key points • For several cranial neuralgias, the diagnostic workup should include structural imaging with MRI with and without contrast to evaluate for evidence of inflammation or space-taking lesions, vascular imaging consisting of either MRA or CTA [medlink.com]

See Workup for more detail. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Diagnosis and treatment can be challenging. Based on a case report and literature review, disease aspects and treatment options including laparoscopic (triple) neurectomy are discussed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

It was managed by several medication and landmark-based great auricular nerve block with poor prognosis. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 25-year-old man presented with a pain in the left lateral neck and auricle. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Patients aged >60 years had the worst prognosis: 18% still had mild pain at 3 months and 6% had moderate or severe pain. At 1 year, 8% had mild pain and 2% had moderate pain. [mdedge.com]

Prognosis The condition tends to come and go. Attacks of pain may be experienced off and on all day, or for days or weeks at a time, or no pain may be experienced for a prolonged period of time. However in most cases, the prognosis is good. [brainfoundation.org.au]

In a retrospective epidemiological study [ 5 ], among all cases between 1945 and 1984, glossopharyngeal neuralgia had an incidence of 0.7 cases per 100,000 patients [ 5 ], while an epidemiological study conducted at the Mayo Clinic between 1922 and 1977 [karger.com]

Strict control of blood sugar may prevent nerve damage in people with diabetes. In the case of shingles, there is some evidence that antiviral drugs and a herpes zoster virus vaccine can prevent neuralgia. [ehr.wrshealth.com]

Prevention: There is virtually no way to prevent neuralgia, except to treat underlying diseases that may precipitate nerve damage and to avoid overexposure to chemicals and drugs. [jariboti.pk]
