Trigeminal Neuralgia Treatment in New Delhi
Expert diagnosis and personalized treatment by a DrNB Neurology specialist.
Overview
Trigeminal neuralgia causes sudden, severe, electric-shock-like pain on one side of the face, often triggered by light touch, chewing, speaking or cold wind. Episodes may last seconds to minutes but can occur many times a day and severely affect eating, grooming and quality of life.
Most cases respond well to medication when started correctly. When pain persists despite treatment, neurologists coordinate advanced options including nerve blocks or referral for microvascular decompression or other neurosurgical procedures in selected patients.
Symptoms
Causes
Vascular Compression
A blood vessel pressing on the trigeminal nerve root is the commonest cause.
Multiple Sclerosis
Demyelination of the nerve root can cause trigeminal neuralgia.
Post-Herpetic Neuralgia
Facial nerve pain after shingles may mimic or overlap.
Dental & Sinus Mimics
Tooth and sinus problems must be excluded before diagnosis.
Secondary Causes
Rare tumours or other lesions need MRI when presentation is atypical.
Idiopathic Cases
No structural cause found on imaging in many patients.
