Many facial pain syndromes are also unique, given the complex anatomy and specialized sensory innervation of the head, face, and neck. These syndromes represent a clinical diagnostic challenge and deserve special attention. The common descriptive terms for facial pain complaints are frequently misleading. To avoid confusion, pain clinicians should be familiar with the International Headache Society's Diagnostic Classification for Head, Face, and Neck Pain Disorders1 (Table 36-1). Clinicians should be comfortable distinguishing painful conditions that arise from structural pathology, headache syndromes, oral and facial structures, temporomandibular joint disorders, myofascial pain disorders, and primary cranial neuralgias.
