Abnormal blink reflex studies in a patient with supraorbital neuralgia.

A 44-year-old female with gabapentin-responsive supraorbital neuralgia is presented. She had pre- and post-treatment nociceptive-specific blink reflexes carried out which tracked the good clinical outcome from treatment. The results of the electrophysiological testing imply some central component to the pathophysiology of supra-orbital neuralgia.
