Excerpt from A Clinical Study of Neuralgias, and of the Origin of Reflex or Transferred Pains

I shall proceed, first, to present the facts obtained by studying these cases of neuralgia as a whole.

Frequency. - The table and chart which I have here show that, of 453 cases of neuralgia, 186, or 41 per cent., were of the trigeminal nerve; next to this come the sciatic, with 23 per cent., and the intercostal, with 13 per cent. Then follow the cervico-occipital, per cent., the lumbo abdominal, per cent., and the articular, 2 per cent. The brachial is slightly less, while none of the other different neuralgias form much more than a fraction of a per cent. Of the whole. This distribution of neuralgias is not in any striking way at variance with those of such other observers as I could find.

Form of Neuralgia. - Trigeminal of all forms, 186 (41 per supra-orbital, 39; migraine, 31; mixed, 17; infra-orbital, 3; infra-maxillary, tic douloureux, 5 - 100.
