 | | The pain is therefore felt in the distribution of the auricular and pharyngeal branches of the vagus nerve as well as that of the glossopharyngeal nerve. | | | However, Dandy (1936) noted that the pain of glossopharyngeal neuralgia may be more constant, and a substantial number of patients will experience a dull, aching or burning sensation or even a painful feeling of pressure that persists for several minutes or even several hours rather than typical tic-like pain. | | | Because the pain may begin in the tonsil and radiate to the ear, it may be confused with a mandibular division trigeminal neuralgia (Jefferson, 1931b), and patients with glossopharyngeal pain of this type have been subjected to division of the trigeminal sensory root as a result of misdiagnosis. |

| | The role of the glossopharyngeal nerve in the regulation of heart rate and blood pressure is thought to be why some patients with glossopharyngeal neuralgia have profound cardiac arrhythmia's and even asystole with the attack of pain. | | | Glossopharyngeal Neuralgia is described as a deep stabbing pain in one side of the throat. | | | The diagnosis can be confirmed by the cessation of pain when this nerve is blocked at the jugular foramen or when topical anesthesia of the pharynx stops the pain. |

| | Glossopharyngeal neuralgia is distinguished from trigeminal neuralgia based on the pain's location or results of a specific test. | | | However, for permanent relief, surgery may be needed: The glossopharyngeal nerve is separated from the artery that is compressing it by placing a small sponge between them. | | | This procedure may be performed to treat trigeminal neuralgia, hemifacial spasms, or glossopharyngeal neuralgia. |

| | Glossopharyngeal neuralgia is a condition marked by repeated episodes of severe pain in the tongue, throat, ear, and tonsils, which can last from a few seconds to a few minutes. | | | In severe cases, when pain is difficult to treat, surgery aiming at decompressing the glossopharyngeal nerve may be required. | | | See a pain specialist if pain is severe to be sure that all options for controlling pain are available to you. |
