Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: A rare and painful condition known as trigeminal neuralgia, this condition is typified by abrupt, unbearable, paroxysmal, piercing, stabbing pain that is frequently unilateral throughout the trigeminal dermatomes. While the illness generally is not lethal, it is debilitating and can occasionally end in psychological disorders. This disorder diminishes the quality of everyday life. To ease the pain and suffering patient’s agony, a precise diagnosis and an effective therapeutic approach are essential. A comprehensive examination of the diagnosis, management, and rehabilitation of trigeminal neuropathy is given in this article. This includes pharmaceutical administration, surgical management, alternative recently discovered methods of treatment and a screening approach. Latest innovations and newer guidelines of treatment are also discussed to enhance clinical outcomes and improve patients’ prognoses.
