Trigeminal Neuralgia
The trigeminal nerve is a nerve that brings sensation from your face to your brain. In trigeminal neuralgia, the trigeminal nerve is impaired such that even a small touch to the face can send bursts of excruciating pain across the cheeks or chin. Although each episode may last for only a few moments, the episodes can present in clusters, making the condition extremely debilitating.
Current medications used to treat trigeminal neuralgia only provide a modest relief of pain and have many harmful side effects. At Bluewater Clinical Research Group, we are proud to be contributing to finding a safe and effective treatment for trigeminal neuralgia.
