FACIAL PROSOPALGIA: AN EMERGING SYMPTOM IN LONG COVID PATIENTS
Main Article Content
Abstract
Facial prosopalgia (facial pain) has emerged as a significant complication in post-COVID-19 patients. This condition can manifest as persistent or recurring pain, often associated with neurological changes in the trigeminal nerve, which is involved in sensory functions of the face. This review explores the pathophysiology, prevalence, and management of facial prosopalgia in the aftermath of a COVID-19 infection. Research suggests that the viral infection can cause both direct and indirect effects on craniofacial structures, contributing to the onset of this syndrome. The review also evaluates various treatment modalities and potential therapeutic interventions, providing a comprehensive overview of current understanding in the management of this condition in post-COVID patients.
