Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) was defined by The International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) as severe, sudden, usually unilateral, stabbing, brief, recurrent attacks of pain in one or more distributional branches of the trigeminal nerve. The purpose of the current study will to investigate the effect of Low level laser therapy versus electromagnetic therapy on diabetic trigeminal neuralgia pain intensity and amplitude of the compound muscle action potential of the masseter and temporalis muscles in diabetic TN patients.
