Because of the variety of treatment options available, having trigeminal neuralgia doesn't necessarily mean you're doomed to a life of pain. Doctors usually can effectively manage trigeminal neuralgia with medications, injections or surgery.
The primary treatment of trigeminal neuralgia is medication to control the pain. Surgery may be necessary when drug therapy is not effective or side effects from the medications are not tolerable. A number of medications are effective in helping control the pain of trigeminal neuralgia. The most commonly prescribed medications are anticonvulsants (anti-seizure medications). Anticonvulsants help to stop the irritated trigeminal nerve from firing pain impulses.
