The condition may affect around 1% of the equine population to a degree of severity sufficient to require veterinary attention. As a pain condition, this represents a significant welfare issue. Horses are usually more severely affected at exercise which can leave them unable to perform, or even dangerous to ride and handle. With little known about the condition and variable response to treatments, severely affected horses are often euthanized. This review article considers the literature on trigeminal-mediated headshaking, focusing on what is known, and indeed not known, about the prevalence of the condition and its impact. The current published management options are considered, along with their challenges and limitations.  Keywords: neurology, neurological disorder, neuropathic pain, facial pain, welfareRoberts VDove Medical PressarticleNeurologyneurological disorderneuropathic painfacial painwelfareVeterinary medicineSF600-1100ENVeterinary Medicine: Research and Reports, Vol Volume 10, Pp 1-8 (2019)
