Trigeminal Neuralgia Facial Nerve Pain Treatment in Chennai

Treatment for trigeminal neuralgia focuses on easing facial pain with specialist neuro care.

Trigeminal Neuralgia Treatment & Facial Nerve Pain Care

Trigeminal Neuralgia is a rare and painful problem. It affects about 1 in 20,000 people. It causes sudden, strong face pain. Simple things like brushing your teeth or a light breeze can trigger it. The pain comes from a nerve called the trigeminal nerve. This nerve helps you feel things in your face and chew. When it's bothered, it causes pain. This pain can be very bad and make daily life hard. It can also affect how you feel mentally.

Getting help early is important. At Chennai Neuroscience Foundation, we use special scans and checkups to find out why you have the pain. Then, we give you treatments just for you. These treatments help stop the pain and make your facial nerve work better. Our team of experts offers many choices. We have medicines, small procedures, and even advanced surgeries. We want to help you feel better and live a good life again. We also check on you often after treatment.

Trigeminal Neuralgia Diagnosis & Facial Nerve Pain Testing

Detailed Clinical Evaluation

We assess facial pain patterns and triggers to understand the nature of nerve-related facial pain.
Neurological Examination

We check muscle strength, reflexes, and sensory response to detect nerve compression or irritation.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

High-resolution MRI brain scans help us rule out tumors or structural nerve compression.
Advanced Neuroimaging

We use specialized imaging to detect even minor vascular contact near the trigeminal nerve.
Nerve Conduction Studies

We perform tests to evaluate nerve signal flow and confirm trigeminal nerve dysfunction.
Pain Mapping & History Review

We carefully review pain zones and triggers to pinpoint classic trigeminal neuralgia symptoms.
Differential Diagnosis

We rule out dental, sinus, or other causes before confirming primary trigeminal neuralgia.

Targeted Therapies for Lasting Trigeminal Nerve Pain Relief

Medication-Based Management

We begin with oral medications that calm nerve signals and reduce episodes of sharp facial pain. Common drugs include anticonvulsants and muscle relaxants, which help manage nerve-related discomfort without needing surgical steps early on.

Microvascular Decompression (MVD)

This is a surgery that decompresses nerves by pushing and compressing a blood vessel. The microvascular decompression can be used to achieve permanent pain relief and have normal feeling in the face without resulting in any nerve damage.

Stereotactic Radiosurgery (Gamma Knife)

Using focused radiation, Gamma Knife surgery treats the affected nerve root without cutting the skin. It’s ideal for patients who cannot undergo open surgery and need non-invasive relief from trigeminal neuralgia symptoms.

Radiofrequency Ablation

We use controlled heat to block pain signals coming from the damaged trigeminal nerve branch. This method gives effective pain control with minimal downtime for patients with recurring or drug-resistant pain episodes.

Balloon Compression

A small balloon compresses the nerve ganglion to disrupt pain signals for fast relief. This simple yet effective method suits patients seeking low-risk, short-procedure options for trigeminal nerve pain.

Glycerol Injection Therapy

We inject glycerol near the nerve root to reduce the firing of pain fibers. It helps patients with severe facial nerve irritation who prefer quick, outpatient-based procedures without major intervention.

Early Symptoms of Trigeminal Neuralgia

Sudden, sharp facial pain or electric shock-like sensations
Pain triggered by touching the face or chewing
Discomfort while brushing teeth or washing the face
Pain episodes lasting from a few seconds to a couple of minutes

Burning or stabbing sensation on one side of the face
Pain while talking, smiling, or shaving
Pain focused along the jaw, cheek, or eye area
Increasing frequency or severity of facial pain over time

Trigeminal Neuralgia Causes & Facial Nerve Pain Triggers

Early treatment of a brain aneurysm can be life-saving and significantly reduce the risk of severe complications. Key benefits include

Nerve Compression

An irritation may be caused by a blood vessel pressing on the trigeminal nerve, in turn causing excruciating pain all over the face and an electric shock-like feeling.

Multiple Sclerosis

The protective covering of nerves is also destroyed by MS, the trigeminal nerve being one of them, interrupting the path of signals and sometimes resulting in the recurring episodes of sharp facial pain.

Injury or Post-Surgical Damage

Trauma or nerve damage of the head/face or previous surgeries can damage the nerve fibers and render them hyperactive and susceptible to chronic pains.

Tumors Affecting the Nerve

Any benign or malignant growths to the nerve may lead to his or her becoming squeezed or inflamed, which may lead to chronic facial pain or pins and needles.

Know About Trigeminal Neuralgia Pain & Treatments

It is frequently triggered by the pressure of the blood vessels against the nerve, the nerve damage, multiple sclerosis, or the tumors around the brain.

The pain is described as shock-like, stabbing, or as pain that is caused by simple movements such as brushing, eating, or talking.

Treatments offered include medicines, injections, and complicated procedures such as microvascular decompression or radiosurgery.

It can recur in certain instances, though early diagnosis and follow-ups facilitate the chances of another attack.

It is a factor of the cause and treatment reaction. There are longer-term relief experiences among certain patients, particularly when the patients are well taken care of and observed.
