[The thermal trigeminal impulse test. A method for more precise trigeminal nerve testing].
A new method is described, which determines the subjective sensitivity-level for warmth-impulses in the innervation-areas of trigeminus in the face. This method seems to be more sensitive than methods for judging the tactile sensitivity. The warmth-sensitivity shows no correlation to age and sex; the lowest level was found in the innervation area of the 2nd branch of trigeminus.
