Trigeminal Neuralgia Treatment in Israel

Mon, 11/26/2012 - 14:46 Neurosurgery
Trigeminal Nerve

Trigeminal neuralgia is an inflammation of the trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V), which can lead to intense electric-shock-like facial pain lasting from a few seconds to several minutes that occur in response to stimulation of the face (i.e. shaving, chewing, brushing teeth or even putting on makeup). The condition is chronic, and symptoms tend to become more severe over time. It is more common among people over 60 but can develop at any age. Most often, its exact causes are unknown.

Currently, two methods of treatment are in use:

  • Radiofrequency ablation of the trigeminal nerve.
  • If ablation does not relieve the symptoms, a neurosurgical surgery is performed. During the procedure a place of the nerve's transition from the brain to the face is decompressed.

Sample program

  • Bloodwork (CBC, electrolyte levels, coagulation factors, and lipid profile)
  • Contrast-enhanced MRI scan of trigeminal nerve
  • Neurologist  consultation
  • Consultation and treatment by a pain clinic/radiofrequency ablation expert
