title: Craniofacial neural disorders: a guide for diagnosis and management.
abstract: The purpose of this article is to provide a succinct diagnosis and management regimen for neural disorders of the craniofacial region. This guide is an attempt to organize available data in a format for use by the craniofacial pain practitioner. The management regimens are brief because the management of many of these disorders may be outside the scope of dentistry. Also, the purpose of this guide is to be user-friendly and complete. Terminology is based on a literature review so individual disorders may be researched more completely.
