Trigeminal Neuralgia Treatment

You might think your discomfort is being caused by something else. Severe facial pain can often be misdiagnosed as a dental issue, facial shingles, or temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ). So a thorough and accurate diagnosis is key to making sure you receive the care you need. Lean on us to help you find clarity and move forward with confidence.

The trigeminal neuralgia specialists at AdventHealth Tampa, formerly Florida Hospital Tampa, will start by learning about your medical and family history as well as any past issues or surgical injuries you may have had. Then, they’ll conduct a neurological exam to make sure your nervous system is working the way it should be. To get a better look at your trigeminal nerve and determine what’s affecting it, our compassionate specialists may also recommend an MRI. We’ll be by your side at every step, providing comfort and support as we uncover the cause of your condition.

You have one goal: find relief from your nerve pain. That’s our goal for you, too. And it starts with understanding what you’re facing and learning exactly how to deal with it. The expert neurology team at AdventHealth Tampa will carefully explain the ways your condition can affect your body and help find the right trigeminal neuralgia treatment for you.

Typical or “classic” trigeminal neuralgia commonly consists of sudden, extreme, and sporadic bursts of facial pain. Lasting anywhere from a few seconds to several minutes, these bouts can occur during normal, everyday activities like eating, shaving, or putting on makeup. Atypical trigeminal neuralgia is most often characterized by less intense but more constant burning, stabbing, or aching sensations. Whatever your symptoms, our team will minister to your needs at every moment, helping you find peace.

You don’t need to go through life dealing with nerve pain. Rely on us to help find the right trigeminal neuralgia treatment for you. Your team will design a personalized care plan to help you reclaim physical peace with a strong mind and a confident spirit.

Your trigeminal neuralgia diagnosis will help determine the treatment options that are right for you and may consist of one specific approach or a combination of several. Trigeminal neuralgia treatments include:
