Trigeminal neuralgia is a chronic disease causing intense facial pain, typically on one side of the face. The experts at Houston Methodist work to reduce and remove painful episodes through surgical treatments and medication therapies.
At Houston Methodist, we take a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to treatment for trigeminal neuralgia. Also known as prosoplasia, tic douloureux or Fothergill's disease, this chronic pain condition affects the trigeminal nerve, which carries sensation from the face to the brain.
Mild stimulation of the face, such as brushing teeth or putting on makeup, may trigger excruciating pain. The pain may start as short, mild attacks, but the condition can progress to longer, more frequent bouts of intense pain.
We understand the complexities of this condition and spend time with our patients to understand their concerns. Together, we develop comprehensive treatment plans for every patient.
