Summary

Individuals with dry eye tend to present with ocular pain which persists despite the use of topical treatment. This could be secondary to somatosensory impairment attributable to neuropathic pain. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of trigeminal nerve stimulation (TNS) on corneal nerves and chronic ocular pain in patients with dry eye.

Conditions

  • Dry Eye
  • Neuropathic Pain
  • Eye Pain
