What is trigeminal neuralgia (TN)? Symptoms, causes and diagnosis
Mr Nik (Nikunj) Patel, a Consultant Neurosurgeon, describes trigeminal neuralgia as a rare form of severe facial pain, often regarded as the worst imaginable pain that occurs due to a lesion in the trigeminal nerve in the face. Medication is typically used as the first treatment measure but if dosages and side effects become too high then referral to a neurosurgeon is the next step.
