Hyperactive dysfunction syndrome (HDS) is defined as symptoms arising from overactivities in cranial nerves, like trigeminal neuralgia (TN), hemifacial spasm (HFS), and glossopharyngeal neuralgia (GPN). A combination of these cranial nerve neuralgias, that might or might not occur in one or both sides, either synchronously, or metachronously is called combined hyperactive dysfunction syndrome (CHDS).
