Physical Examination

  • Abnormal sensation in the skin
  • Loss of deep tendon reflexes
  • Loss of muscle mass
  • Lack of sweating (sweating is controlled by nerves)
  • Tenderness along a nerve, often in the lower face and jaw and rarely in the temple and forehead
  • Trigger points (areas where even a slight touch triggers pain)
  • A dental examination can rule out dental disorders that may cause facial pain (such as a tooth abscess). Other symptoms (such as redness or swelling) may help rule out conditions such as infections, bone fractures, or rheumatoid arthritis.
