This article explores the impact of social determinants of health (SDOH) on the treatment outcomes of patients with trigeminal neuralgia (TN). The study found that older and female patients with TN experienced a longer time from symptom onset to specialist referral. However, there was no association between race, socioeconomic status, and insurance status with time-to-referral or time-to-treatment. The study suggests that further research with larger and more diverse patient databases is needed to ensure equitable access to care for TN patients across different regions and health systems.
