Severe
facial pain that typically involves the lower face and jaw, and
sometimes the area around the nose and above the eye, may be trigeminal
neuralgia. Sometimes described as the most excruciating pain known to
humanity, this intense, stabbing, electric shock-like pain is caused by
irritation of the trigeminal nerve, which sends branches to the
forehead, cheek, and lower jaw. While trigeminal neuralgia cannot always
be cured, there are treatments available to alleviate the excruciating
pain. Dr. Gregory Rubino,
a board certified neurosurgeon on staff at Lake Charles Memorial
Hospital, discusses trigeminal neuralgia and possible treatment options.
For more information or to schedule an appointment with Dr. Rubino, call (337) 494-4720 or visit www.neurosurgicalinstitutelc.com.
