Welcome to Neuro Sciences Centers, dedicated to delivering advanced care and solutions for neurological conditions. Specializing in Trigeminal Neuralgia, a debilitating disorder affecting the trigeminal nerve, we understand the challenges posed by its excruciating facial pain.
Trigeminal neuralgia (TN), also known as tic douloureux, is a disorder of the fifth cranial nerve (trigeminal nerve). It is one of the most excruciating pain known to humanity. The pain can be triggered by an action as routine and minor as brushing your teeth, eating or the wind. Attacks may begin mild and short, but if left untreated, trigeminal neuralgia can progressively worsen. Trigeminal Neuralgia, 7a chronic pain condition impacting the trigeminal nerve’s sensory transmission from the face to the brain, manifests as sudden, severe, stabbing facial pain. Simple activities like chewing or talking can trigger these episodes.
The disorder is sometimes broken down into type 1 and type 2. Its etiology can be divided into idiopathic, classic and secondary.
TN type 1 (TN1) is characterized by attacks of intense, stabbing pain affecting the mouth, cheek, nose, and/or other areas on one side of the face.
TN type 2 (TN2) is characterized by aess intense pain, but a constant dull aching or burning pain. Both types of pain can occur in the same individual, even at the same time. In some cases, the pain can be excruciating and incapacitating.
We offer Neuromodulation as a modality of treatment for patient who have failed conservative management including but not limited to Medications (Including AED; Antiepileptics and membrane stabilizers), Nerve blocks, Radiofrequency Ablations and even Surgeries (Laser or Craniotomies for decompression).
Symptoms encompass intense, shooting pain on one side of the face, lasting seconds to minutes. Frequent episodes disrupt daily life, creating substantial discomfort and challenges for those affected by Trigeminal Neuralgia.
The primary cause of Trigeminal Neuralgia often stems from compression on the trigeminal nerve, resulting in abnormal signals. Contributing factors may include blood vessels pressing on the nerve or conditions such as multiple sclerosis. A comprehensive understanding of these factors is pivotal for accurate diagnosis.
Prompt medical attention is crucial if sudden, severe facial pain occurs. At Neuro Sciences Centers, our team of specialists is equipped with the expertise to effectively diagnose and treat Trigeminal Neuralgia.
Our approach involves a thorough evaluation to determine the root cause and severity. Treatment options, including medications, nerve blocks, or advanced surgical interventions like microvascular decompression, are personalized for each patient. Collaborative efforts within our team ensure the best possible outcomes.
Our neurology specialists and neurosurgeons, leaders in the field, leverage extensive experience to provide tailored SCS solutions.
