Assessment of Intranasal Function of the Trigeminal Nerve in Daily Clinical Practice.

ORL J Otorhinolaryngol Relat Spec

June 2024

2nd Academic ORL, Head and Neck Surgery Department, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Papageorgiou Hospital, Thessaloniki, Greece.

Background: The trigeminal nerve is a mixed cranial nerve responsible for the motor innervation of the masticatory muscles and the sensory innervation of the face, including the nasal cavities. Through its nasal innervation, we perceive sensations, such as cooling, tingling, and burning, while the trigeminal system mediates the perception of airflow. However, the intranasal trigeminal system has received little attention in the clinical evaluation of patients with nasal pathology.

Olfactory stimulation may modulate the sensation of nasal patency.

Rhinology

Smell and Taste Clinic, Department of Otorhinolaryngology, TU Dresden, Dresden, Germany.

Background: The sensation of nasal patency can be induced by inhaling menthol, which predominantly produces trigeminal stimulation. It remains unclear whether olfactory stimulation can also induce or modulate the sensation of nasal patency.

Methodology: A total of 118 participants (normosmia: n=67, olfactory dysfunction: n=51) were exposed to four odors in a randomized order: 1) phenylethanol (PEA), 2) menthol, 3) a mixture of PEA and menthol, 4) nearly odorless propylene glycol.

Correlation between olfactory function, trigeminal sensitivity, and nasal anatomy in healthy subjects.

Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol

June 2019

Interdisciplinary Center Smell and Taste, Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Medical Faculty Carl Gustav Carus, TU Dresden, Dresden, Germany.

Purpose: Few studies have investigated the correlation between chemosensory function (trigeminal and olfactory) and nasal volume in humans, even though nasal anatomy is crucial for the sense of smell. Aim of this study was to evaluate these correlations in normosmic subjects.

Methods: Two hundred and fifty-six healthy volunteers (age range 19-69 years) participated.

Intranasal trigeminal function in patients with empty nose syndrome.

Laryngoscope

June 2017

Rhinology Clinic, 2nd Academic Otorhinolaryngology Department, Papageorgiou Hospital, Aristotle University, Thessaloniki, Greece.

Objectives/hypothesis: Trigeminal nerve mediates the perception of nasal airflow. This study examines whether impaired intranasal trigeminal function is a part of the paradoxical nasal obstruction sensation in patients with empty nose syndrome (ENS).

Study Design: Prospective case-control study in a tertiary hospital.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates if impaired trigeminal sensation (TS) affects the feeling of nasal obstruction in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS).
  • It compares CRS patients reporting nasal obstruction to healthy controls, examining nasal airflow and sensory responses without anatomical obstructions in either group.
  • Findings indicate that CRS patients have significantly lower TS compared to controls, suggesting that defective TS may contribute to their perception of nasal obstruction.
