ABSTRACT
This case report describes an effective treatment protocol, the healing process, and the recovery of the patient to a pain-free status after more than 25 years of failed treatment for facial pain. Features of this case report include 1. A procedure to produce a phenomenon useful as a pathognomonic sign of autonomic nervous system neuropathy, as a determination of the location of the origin of pain, and as a monitoring device for the effectiveness of treatment. 2. A digital pressure intervention procedure that appears effective as a treatment modality to relieve pain and to effect healing. 3. A method to improve posture of the body affecting the relationship of the maxilla to the mandible, the dental occlusion, and the etiology of facial pain. 4. A description of the nature and intensity of the different levels of the pain experienced in the face from the most severe state of pain to a no-pain condition. 5. A diagnosis using a diagnostic term that has developed since the initial diagnosis of atypical trigeminal neuralgia in this case.
