- BackgroundThe primary aim of this observational study was to determine the incidence of trigeminal neuralgia (TN) in a county in central Sweden. The secondary aim was to investigate TN characteristics including the affected side and nerve branches.MethodsPatients that received the ICD-10 diagnostic codes TN (G50.0), atypical facial pain (G50.1) and other/unspecified disorder of the trigeminal nerve (G50.8 and G50.9) in Uppsala County, between 2009 and 2017, were eligible for inclusion. Case ascertainment was conducted by the authors by review of the medical records.ResultsThe incidence of TN was estimated to be 5.5 (95% confidence interval 4.7–6.4) per 100,000 person-years. The incidence increased with age, from 0.1 in 0- to 19-year-olds to 23.1 per 100,000 person-years in 80+-year-olds. Females exhibited a higher incidence at 7.3 than males at 3.7 per 100,000 person-years. Most of the trigeminal neuralgia cases were diagnosed in the Neurology department (47%). Trigeminal neuralgia was most frequently right sided (59%) and limited to one cranial nerve V-branch, of which V2 was the most common.ConclusionsTrigeminal neuralgia incidence was estimated to be 5.5 per 100,000 person-years. The incidence was higher for females and increased with older age.SignificanceThere is limited knowledge about the true incidence of trigeminal neuralgia. This manuscript provides an estimate of 5.5 cases per 100,000 person-years, by using a thorough case ascertainment methodology.
