The majority of TN patients visit dental clinics first, so TN represents a potential pitfall for dental practitioners. This report describes the development of a trigeminal neuralgia questionnaire (TNQ), assessing 10 characteristics of TN, to assist dentists in screening for TN in dental clinics, and evaluates the effectiveness of TNQ.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Materials and Methods\u2003Fifty-three patients who visited the TN outpatient department in our institute and completed the TNQ were included in this study. All patients were examined by two neurosurgeons and neuroimaging was performed.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Statistical Analysis\u2003Patients were classified into a TN group and a non-TN group. TNQ score was retrospectively compared between groups. Furthermore, history and characteristics of TN were investigated in the TN group to clarify the status of the reference situation.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Results\u2003Thirty-seven cases were assigned to the TN group, and 16 cases to the non-TN group. Mean TNQ score was 8.3 in the TN group and 6.6 in the non-TN group. Setting a TNQ cutoff score of 7 offered 91% sensitivity and 56% specificity for TN. Investigation of the history of the present illness indicated that 39.2% of TN cases were improperly triaged and referred from initial dental clinics, and interdisciplinary practice was insufficient.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusion\u2003TNQ offers a reliable, convenient method to triage TN patients, and may assist dentists in screening for TN. Multidisciplinary practice is necessary for total management of TN and the TNQ is expected to connect dentists and TN specialists.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0043-1771368","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,22]],"date-time":"2023-09-22T23:04:28Z","timestamp":1695423868000},"page":"528-532","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Questionnaire
