Frequently Asked Questions
Treatment options for TN may include medications such as anticonvulsants or tricyclic antidepressants, nerve blocks or injections, or in severe cases, surgery. The appropriate treatment plan will depend on the severity of symptoms and the underlying cause of the condition.
TN is typically diagnosed based on a patient’s symptoms and a physical exam. Additional tests such as an MRI or CT scan may be done to rule out other possible causes of facial pain.
