[Diagnostic and therapeutic studies using the cryoprobe in various forms of facial pain, not of the migraine or trigeminal type].
The application of cold in neurosurgery (cryosurgery) has already clearly shown that it acts on the nervous structures in two opposite directions, depending on the temperature: i.e., at temperature from 0 degrees to --10 degrees, it stimulates the nervous fibres, and, at lower temperatures (below--80 degrees), it causes their destruction. On these bases we started our diagnostic researches and the treatment of certain forms of non-migraine nor trigeminal facial pain.
