Abstract:
The lancinating facial pain of trigeminal neuralgia usually responds to medical treatment. However, in some patients, trigeminal neuralgia is refractory to drug therapy. In addition, some patients are unable to tolerate the side effects of medication. In these cases, several safe and effective surgical procedures are available for the treatment of this common facial pain syndrome.
