Trigeminal Neuralgia: Symptoms and Treatment

Trigeminal neuralgia causes brief, severe, electric-shock-like facial pain, often triggered by touch, chewing, brushing the teeth, or cold air.

Treatment

Treatment commonly begins with medicines prescribed and monitored by a doctor. For pain that remains uncontrolled or medication that is not tolerated, options may include microvascular decompression, stereotactic radiosurgery, or other targeted procedures after specialist evaluation and imaging.
