疼痛和局限性肌张力障碍与慢性疼痛状况有关，如复杂的区域疼痛综合征。角膜疼痛，通常被称为“干眼”，可能是一种伴有神经丛异常的神经病理性疼痛状况。在此，我们介绍了5例明确的角膜疼痛患者(有相关的神经病理特征)，以及神经丛变化和相关眼睑痉挛的客观测量。疼痛和眼睑痉挛之间的假定关系表明，在这两种情况下，基底神经节都有潜在的参与。(C)2011年，由Elsevier B.V.代表国际疼痛研究协会发表。
Pain and focal dystonias have been associated with chronic pain conditions such as complex regional pain syndrome. Corneal pain, frequently known as "dry eye'', may be a neuropathic pain condition with abnormalities of the nerve plexus. Here we present 5 case histories of patients with defined corneal pain (with associated neuropathic features) and objective measures of changes in the nerve plexus and associated blepharospasm. A putative relationship between pain and blepharospasm suggests potential involvement of the basal ganglia in both these conditions. (C) 2011 Published by Elsevier B.
