Patients with concomitant TN and autoimmune disease were more likely to have Type 2 TN, had worse postoperative BNI pain scores at the final follow-up after MVD, and were more likely to experience recurrent pain than patients with TN alone. These findings may influence postoperative pain management decisions for these patients and support a possible role for neuroinflammation in TN pain.
