Trigeminal Neuralgia

Neurosurgery

Specialized Treatment for Trigeminal Neuralgia

Trigeminal neuralgia is a severe facial pain condition. While often initially managed by neurologists, surgery is a highly effective option if medications fail or cause intolerable side effects.

Surgical Procedures Offered:

  • Radiofrequency Ablation: A percutaneous procedure where a needle is used to selectively burn pain fibers. It has an average efficacy of two years.
  • Microvascular Decompression (MVD): A more invasive but highly successful surgery (90–95% initial success) where a blood vessel is separated from the nerve using Teflon.
