Trigeminal neuralgia is not the most common painful affliction of the face; however, it may be the most severe. Individuals who have experienced even one of these cataclysmic episodes state that their lives are forever changed. They remember their first attack as if it were yesterday. Women say that trigeminal neuralgia attacks eclipse even the pain of childbirth. The fear of the next attack haunts these unfortunate individuals, and some even consider death a viable alternative to life with these attacks.This book of Trigeminal Neuralgia is written to enhance the knowledge of clinicians who treat patients with trigeminal neuralgia: to better their working knowledge of the diagnosis, the disease, the medications now being prescribed, and the neurosurgical techniques that are available, and to offer ideas for the more refractory cases. It is written so that patients will be able to read these chapters and increase their knowledge of the treatment options that are available to them.
