It is a review of facial pains applied to everyday clinical practice in etiological, pathogenetic, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects. The pains are divided into somatogenic (myogenic and arthrogenic) and neurogenic. Myogenic pain appears in muscular-facial dysfunction while arthrogenic is due to dysfunction of the mandibular joint, craniomandibulohyoid syndrome. Neurogenic pains emerge in trifacial neuralgia, psychalgia, vegetovascular disorders.
The vertebral column, consisting of individual Junghann's movement segments (smallest functional units), can show functional impairment (malfunction) producing peripheral pain mostly without an organic cause. In the ENT area there are many syndromes caused by such malfunction, mostly in the upper cervical spine. Spondylogenous disorders can perhaps trigger additional nociceptive reactions. Knowledge of the functional pathology of the vertebral column and its exact diagnosis are the basis of a comprehensive treatment strategy.
