The trigeminal nerve is responsible for transmitting sensations from the face to the brain.
In Trigeminal Neuralgia, this nerve experiences irritation or compression, resulting in episodes of extremely intense facial pain, often triggered by everyday activities such as talking, chewing or even touching the face.
For some patients, conventional treatment does not provide sufficient relief, in these cases surgery is the best option to end the pain.
Idiopathic Trigeminal Neuralgia Idiopathic
Trigeminal Neuralgia is a painful condition of the face with no identifiable cause. When other treatments do not provide sufficient relief or have intolerable side effects, surgery allows direct pain relief by eliminating irritation of the trigeminal nerve, with long-lasting results that improve the patient’s quality of life.
Vascular Compression of the Trigeminal Nerve
Surgery is a suitable option to treat vascular compression of the trigeminal nerve because it offers the opportunity to directly address the underlying cause of severe facial pain, providing sustained results and rapid recovery for many patients who have not found relief with other treatment methods.
