San Diego Headache and Facial Pain Center Case: Traumatic Neuralgia

This Patient has been under the care of Dr Eli at the San Diego Headache and Facial Pain Center in Encinitas CA for 13 years. She was referred to the center by her dentist for treatment of extreme Jaw pain. Pain started after several jaw surgeries to rescue an implant which was compromised. As it turned out the rescue attempt was unsuccessful. Diagnosis for the patients condition is Traumatic Neuralgia. University of Manitoba's center for cranial nerve disorders describes the condition as follows: The pain of trigeminal neuropathy or post-traumatic TN is usually constant, aching or burning, but may be worsened by exposure to triggers such as wind and cold. Such deafferentation pain can start immediately or days to years following injury to the trigeminal nerve. In the most extreme form, called anesthesia dolorosa, there is continuous severe pain in areas of complete numbness. Unfortunately, treatment of post-traumatic TN is often ineffective and pain may not be controlled with medications. Produced By: Randy Clare and Associates
