Idiopathic TN was associated with bilaterally elevated wind\u2010up ratio. Patients with purely paroxysmal pain showed a bilateral gain of function in heat pain thresholds. Sensory phenotyping identified mechanical hyperalgesia (49%) and thermal hyperalgesia (35%) as predominant phenotypes. A sensory loss phenotype was significantly associated with poor response to sodium\u2010channel blockers.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>TN is characterized by subtle and complex bilateral sensory alterations, potentially suggesting central modification of sensory processing.
