Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study was to clarify the pathogenesis of orofacial pain by using the temporal and spatial analysis method was a combination of light topography with a small brain wave sensor and the spatial resolution with excellent temporal resolution, EEG or imaging findings buccal It was to examine the consideration whether or not it is useful as a diagnostic marker of facial pain. Although not lead to the elucidation of the pathogenesis, analyzing the EEG in patients with orofacial pain, it could be data acquisition.
