Abstract
The purpose of the present study is to examine possible differences between orofacial migraine (OFM) and neurovascular orofacial pain (NVOP). Facial presentations of primary headache are comparable to primary headache disorders; but occurring in the V2 or V3 dermatomes of the trigeminal nerve. These were classified and recently published in the International Classification of Orofacial Pain, 1st edition (ICOP). A category in this classification is "orofacial pains resembling presentations of primary headaches," which encompasses OFM and NVOP. The differences between NVOP and OFM are subtle, and their response to therapy may be similar. While classified under two separate entities, they contain many features in common, suggesting a possible overlap between the two. Consequently, their separation into two entities warrants further investigations. We describe OFM and NVOP, and their pathophysiology is discussed. The similarities and segregating clinical signs and symptoms are analyzed, and the possibility of unifying the two entities is debated.

Abstract
Background: Non-dental orofacial pain disorders are not uncommon, but idiopathic or primary facial pain syndromes are rare. Inadequate recognition of these disorders usually leads to unsatisfactory and unmet treatment needs. Methods: We conducted a narrative review with a literature search in PubMed until December 2021, focusing on current guidelines and the recently published International Classification of Orofacial Pain (ICOP). Results: In this paper, we provide an updated overview of the common orofacial pain disorders following the ICOP, covering the classification, epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical approaches, and treatment options. Additionally, we propose a pragmatic approach focusing on the attack duration to improve distinguishing orofacial disorders. Conclusion: The introduction of ICOP offers the opportunity to better coordinate and concentrate scientific efforts, which lays the foundation for the identification of the disease mechanism of facial pain disorders and the optimization of the currently still insufficient therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
ObjectiveTo assess the prevalence of facial pain (V2 and/or V3) presentations among nearly 3,000 patients with headache treated in a university tertiary care center.MethodsBetween 2010 and 2018, we routinely assessed the prevalence of facial pain presentations of all patients with primary headaches.ResultsOf 2,912 patient datasets, 291 patients reported facial pain either as an independent or as an additional symptom. Among patients with migraine, 2.3% (44 of 1,935) reported a facial involvement, most commonly in V2. Of these, 18 patients (40.9%) experienced the pain predominantly in the face. In patients with cluster headache, 14.8% (42 of 283) reported a facial involvement, of which 31.0% perceived the pain predominantly in the face. A facial involvement was seen in 45.0% of patients with paroxysmal hemicrania (9 of 20), 21.4% of patients with hemicrania continua (9 of 42), and 20.0% of patients with short-lasting unilateral neuralgiform headache attacks with conjunctival injection and tearing/short-lasting unilateral neuralgiform headache attacks with cranial autonomic symptoms (3 of 15). In addition, we present 6 patients who reported a constant side-locked facial pain with superseded well-defined facial pain attacks of 10- to 30-minute duration that appeared several times per day.ConclusionOur data suggest that a facial involvement in primary headaches is infrequent but not uncommon. A sole facial presentation of primary headache symptomatology seems to be exceptionally rare. We describe 3 different types of facial pain involvement and, in this context, distinguish patients with paroxysmal orofacial pain syndromes that have not been previously described. These patients may represent a new entity that could tentatively be called constant unilateral facial pain with added attacks.

Abstract
Background Persistent idiopathic facial pain (PIFP) is a chronic disorder recurring daily for more than two hours per day over more than three months, in the absence of clinical neurological deficit. PIFP is the current terminology for Atypical Facial Pain and is characterized by daily or near daily pain that is initially confined but may subsequently spread. Pain cannot be attributed to any pathological process, although traumatic neuropathic mechanisms are suspected. When present intraorally, PIFP has been termed ‘Atypical Odontalgia’, and this entity is discussed in a separate article in this special issue. PIFP is often a difficult but important differential diagnosis among chronic facial pain syndromes. Aim To summarize current knowledge on diagnostic criteria, differential diagnosis, pathophysiology and management of PIFP. Methods We present a narrative review reporting current literature and personal experience. Additionally, we discuss and differentiate the common differential diagnoses associated with PIFP including traumatic trigeminal neuropathies, regional myofascial pain, atypical neurovascular pains and atypical trigeminal neuropathic pains. Results and conclusion The underlying pathophysiology in PIFP is still enigmatic, however neuropathic mechanisms may be relevant. PIFP needs interdisciplinary collaboration to rule out and manage secondary causes, psychiatric comorbidities and other facial pain syndromes, particularly trigeminal neuralgia. Burden of disease and psychiatric comorbidity screening is recommended at an early stage of disease, and should be addressed in the management plan. Future research is needed to establish clear diagnostic criteria and treatment strategies based on clinical findings and individual pathophysiology.

Abstract
Head and facial pain are common in neurological practice and the pain often arises in the orbit or is referred into the eye. This is due to the autonomic innervation of the eye and orbit. There are acute and chronic pain syndromes. This review gives an overview of the differential diagnosis and treatment. Idiopathic headache syndromes, such as migraine and cluster headache are the most frequent and are often debilitating conditions. Trigemino-autonomic cephalalgias (SUNCT and SUNA) have to be taken into account, as well as trigeminal neuralgia. Trigemino-autonomic headache after eye operations can be puzzling and often responds well to triptans. Every new facial pain not fitting these categories must be considered symptomatic and a thorough investigation is mandatory including magnetic resonance imaging. Infiltrative and neoplastic conditions frequently lead to orbital pain. As a differential diagnosis Tolosa-Hunt syndrome and Raeder syndrome are inflammatory conditions sometimes mimicking neoplasms. Infections, such as herpes zoster ophthalmicus are extremely painful and require rapid therapy. It is important to consider carotid artery dissection as a cause for acute eye and neck pain in conjunction with Horner's syndrome and bear in mind that vascular oculomotor palsy is often painful. All of the above named conditions should be diagnosed by a neurologist with special experience in pain syndromes and many require an interdisciplinary approach.

Abstract
Physical treatment, spinal manipulative therapy and massages are often recommended to treat migraine as a prophylactic therapy. Clinical experience and theoretical concepts support their usefulness. However, data on these therapies are scarce. On the basis of the available studies, it is impossible to determine whether or not these therapies are effective. There is a lack of well-designed prospective, randomized controlled trials with a sufficiently long follow-up to observe these therapies. Due to the high acceptance of physical treatment on the one hand and preconceptions about drug treatment on the other, these types of therapies may be an alternative option for some patients if their efficacy is established. A cost-benefit analysis of theses therapies should consider the long amount of time required for them compared with drug intake.

Abstract
Unilateral head pain focused on frontal, orbital or parietal regions is a leading symptom of migraine attacks. Rarely, head pain in migraine can extend involving the maxillary or mandibular region of the face, sometimes isolated facial pain is the only and atypical presentation of migraine. The prevalence of these unusual symptoms in migraine is unknown. We aimed to estimate the true prevalence of facial pain in migraine in a population-based sample of 517 migraine patients in Germany. In 46 (8.9%) cases migraine pain involved the head and the lower half of the face. Patients with facial pain suffer more trigemino-autonomic symptoms than migraine patients (47.8% vs. 7.9%; α2 = 66.23, P < 0.001). In one case isolated facial pain without headache was the leading symptom of migraine. Our results demonstrate that facial pain is not unusual in migraine, whereas isolated facial migraine is extremely rare.

Abstract
The location of pain during the headache phase of migraine varies between individuals as well as between attacks in some individuals. We have observed a "remapping" or a change in the location of migraine pain following injury to the trigeminal system that is a novel characteristic to migraine and has not been described in other trigeminal pain syndromes of the head, neck, and face. Recognition of this clinical feature implies that the pathophysiology of migraine is impressionable and may be why diagnosis and treatment are often delayed.

Abstract
The aim was to apply diagnostic criteria, as published by the International Headache Society (IHS), to the diagnosis of orofacial pain. A total of 328 consecutive patients with orofacial pain were collected over a period of 2 years. The orofacial pain clinic routinely employs criteria published by the IHS, the American Academy of Orofacial Pain (AAOP) and the Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDCTMD). Employing IHS criteria, 184 patients were successfully diagnosed (56%), including 34 with persistent idiopathic facial pain. In the remaining 144 we applied AAOP/RDCTMD criteria and diagnosed 120 as masticatory myofascial pain (MMP) resulting in a diagnostic efficiency of 92.7% (304/328) when applying the three classifications (IHS, AAOP, RDCTMD). Employing further published criteria, 23 patients were diagnosed as neurovascular orofacial pain (NVOP, facial migraine) and one as a neuropathy secondary to connective tissue disease. All the patients were therefore allocated to predefined diagnoses. MMP is clearly defined by AAOP and the RDCTMD. However, NVOP is not defined by any of the above classification systems. The features of MMP and NVOP are presented and analysed with calculations for positive (PPV) and negative predictive values (NPV). In MMP the combination of facial pain aggravated by jaw movement, and the presence of three or more tender muscles resulted in a PPV = 0.82 and a NPV = 0.86. For NVOP the combination of facial pain, throbbing quality, autonomic and/or systemic features and attack duration of > 60 min gave a PPV = 0.71 and a NPV = 0.95. Expansion of the IHS system is needed so as to integrate more orofacial pain syndromes.
