Trigeminal Neuralgia

Relief Beyond Words: Precision Care for Trigeminal Neuralgia

At Universal Hospital, we understand the profound impact that Trigeminal Neuralgia (TN) can have on your life. Our dedicated Trigeminal Neuralgia Center is committed to providing compassionate care and advanced treatments to alleviate your pain and improve your quality of life.

Understanding Trigeminal Neuralgia:

Trigeminal neuralgia is a chronic pain condition that affects the trigeminal nerve, which is responsible for transmitting sensations from the face to the brain. Individuals with trigeminal neuralgia often experience sudden, severe, and stabbing facial pain, triggered by activities such as eating, talking, or even light touch.

Our Approach to Trigeminal Neuralgia Care:

  • Accurate Diagnosis: Our team conducts a comprehensive evaluation, including a detailed medical history, neurological examination, and imaging studies, to precisely diagnose trigeminal neuralgia and rule out other potential causes of facial pain.
  • Multidisciplinary Consultation: We collaborate with neurologists, neurosurgeons, pain management specialists, and other experts to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to the individual needs of each patient.
Trigeminal Neuralgia
  • Medical Management:
    • Anticonvulsant Medications: Medications such as carbamazepine or oxcarbazepine are often prescribed to reduce nerve firing and alleviate pain.
    • Muscle Relaxants: Medications that relax facial muscles, helping to reduce pressure on the trigeminal nerve.
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures:
    • Microvascular Decompression (MVD): A surgical procedure to relieve pressure on the trigeminal nerve by repositioning or removing blood vessels compressing the nerve.
    • Gamma Knife Radiosurgery: Precise radiation to target and disrupt the malfunctioning nerve.
  • Pain Management Techniques: We offer various pain management strategies, including nerve blocks and Botox injections, to provide relief and improve the quality of life for individuals with trigeminal neuralgia.
