[Abstract] Trigeminal neuralgia is characterized by severe, brief, stabbing, "electric shock-like" recurrent pain attacks felt in one or more divisions of trigeminal nerve innervation areas. The pathogenesis of TN includes "Peripheral pathogenic theory" and "Central patheogenic theory" . "Neurovascular compression" is representative in former, which leads to nerve demyelination and conduction disorders. The latter emphasizes the importance of "the Central Nervous System" in the process of pain generation and modulation. The latest progresses in the field of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), the voxel-based morphometry (VBM) and resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) were reviewed in this paper.
