dc.description.abstract | Background. The aim of this systematic review was to
answer the focused question, “What are the prevalence and
the epidemiological characteristics of trigeminal neuralgia
in the general population?”
Types of Studies Reviewed. This systematic review
included observational population-based studies reporting
the prevalence of trigeminal neuralgia (TN). The authors
developed specific search strategies for LILACS, PubMed,
ScienceDirect, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google
Scholar. The authors evaluated the methodological quality
of the included studies using criteria from the Agency for
Healthcare Research and Quality.
Results. Among 728 studies, the authors selected only 3
for inclusion. Two studies were classified as having low risk
of bias and 1 as having moderate risk. The sample size
ranged from 1,838 to 13,541 adults. This review identified a
higher prevalence of TN in women, ranging from 0.03%
(95% confidence interval [CI], 0.01-0.08) to 0.3% (95% CI,
0.16-0.55). The maxillary and mandibular branches of the
trigeminal nerve were the most affected. The proportion
between women and men who had TN was 3 to 1, and those
in the age bracket between 37 and 67 years were the most
affected.
Conclusions and Practical Implications. The authors
of this review identified a higher prevalence of TN in
women older than 40 years that usually affected the
maxillary and mandibular branches. Further research is
required to validate the prevalence of TN in a wellstructured,
population-based study without a convenience
sample. | |
