Trigeminal Neuralgia is one of the most severe forms of facial pain, often described as electric shock-like, stabbing, or burning pain on one side of the face. It occurs when the trigeminal nerve, which carries sensations from the face to the brain, becomes irritated or compressed — usually by a blood vessel, tumor, or sometimes without any clear cause.
At Dr. Rohit Kamboj’s clinic, we offer specialized diagnosis and advanced treatment options to help patients achieve lasting relief from this extremely painful condition.
Common Symptoms:
Sudden, sharp facial pain triggered by simple activities like talking, eating, brushing teeth, or touching the face
Pain attacks lasting a few seconds to minutes
Frequent cycles of pain episodes throughout the day
Increased sensitivity on one side of the face
Pain that worsens over time if untreated
Causes of Trigeminal Neuralgia:
Blood vessel pressing against the trigeminal nerve
Tumors or cysts
Multiple sclerosis (rare)
Age-related nerve changes
Facial or dental trauma
Treatment Options:
Medication to reduce nerve hyperactivity (first-line treatment)
Nerve blocks and injections for temporary relief
Microvascular Decompression (MVD) Surgery – the most effective long-term solution when a blood vessel compresses the nerve
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) – uses controlled heat to reduce pain signals
Stereotactic Radiosurgery (Gamma Knife) – a non-invasive option for selected cases
