Dr. Wiquar explains Non-surgical treatment for Trigeminal Neuralgia

Trigeminal neuralgia (TN), also known as tic douloureux, is sometimes described as the most excruciating pain known to humanity. The pain typically involves the lower face and jaw, although sometimes it affects the area around the nose and above the eye. This intense, stabbing, electric shock-like pain is caused by irritation of the trigeminal nerve, which sends branches to the forehead, cheek, and lower jaw. It usually is limited to one side of the face. The pain can be triggered by actions as routine and minor as brushing your teeth, eating, or the wind. Attacks may begin mild and short, but if left untreated, trigeminal neuralgia can progressively worsen. At Alleviate we use Radiofrequency Ablation to treat Trigeminal Neuralgia Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) targets the trigeminal nerve, altering the brain’s ability to transmit pain signals and thereby reduce pain. This is a common percutaneous procedure used to treat trigeminal neuralgia, especially so in elderly patients and high-risk groups. RFA has unique advantages over other methods. It can be treated as pulsatile or as an injury. Intraoperative sensory and motor tests can be performed. The needle is smaller and therefore less painful. It is performed in one day and patients are recovering well enough to return home the same day.
