Trigeminal Neuralgia (TN) is a rare yet extremely painful condition. It causes sudden, severe, shooting facial pain usually on one side. Everyday activities like chewing, brushing teeth, talking, or even a light breeze can become unbearable triggers.
Diagnosis is mainly clinical, supported by dental checks and MRI Brain (CISS protocol) to confirm if a blood vessel is compressing the trigeminal nerve. At The Painex Clinic, we provide advanced, tailored treatment options ranging from nerve-specific medications to minimally invasive procedures such as Radio-Frequency Ablation (RFA), Balloon Decompression, and B0-T0X Injections. In severe cases, Microvascular Decompression (MVD) is performed by expert neurosurgeons.
Salman Khan himself has spoken openly about the agony of this condition, saying after his surgery: “You would not want your biggest enemy to have that pain.” His words highlight how debilitating Trigeminal Neuralgia can be and why timely, specialized care is so important.
With 25+ years of expertise, 21,000+ patients treated, and 5 centres across Pune & PCMC, The Painex Clinic is a trusted name in pain management. Our goal is long-term relief, reduced dependence on painkillers, and personalized care for every patient.
