Brief Summary

Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) was defined by The International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) as severe, sudden, usually unilateral, stabbing, brief, recurrent attacks of pain in one or more distributional branches of the trigeminal nerve. The purpose of the current study will to investigate the effect of Low level laser therapy versus electromagnetic therapy on diabetic trigeminal neuralgia pain intensity and amplitude of the compound muscle action potential of the masseter and temporalis muscles in diabetic TN patients.

Conditions

Study Groups

control group

Participants will receive the descriptive medication by neurologist

Group Type: NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

electromagnetic group

Participants will receive the descriptive medication by neurologist in addition to electromagnetic therapy. Electromagnetic therapy will be applied for 20 min/session for three days each week for two months.

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

Electromagnetic therapy.

Intervention Type: OTHER

Electromagnetic therapy will be applied for 20 min/ session for (3 days/ week for two months) to the group intervention.

low laser therapy group

Participants will receive the descriptive medication by neurologist in addition to low laser therapy. Low laser therapy will be applied for 20 min/session for three days each week for two months.

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

Low level laser therapy (LLLT)

Intervention Type: OTHER

Low level laser therapy (LLLT) will be applied for 20 min/session laser scanner for three days each week for two months to the group intervention.
