The symptoms comprise of various manifestations and include both sensory as well as motor components. Currently the evolving classification of facial pain and headaches makes a specific diagnosis and treatment of sphenopalatine neuralgia difficult, and is has been proposed to consider it as a variant of cluster headache or to develop new criteria to describe it.
