Figure 3 TN pain outcome after BTX-A in patients under50 compared to patients 50 and over. (A) Patients in the older age group had a significantly greater improvement in average daily pain score following BTX-A treatment. (B) There was a significantly greater proportion of patients in the older age group with PGICscale1-2.
