Trigeminal nerve pain and its treatment methods
The fifth nerve is one of the 12 cranial nerves responsible for transmitting sensation to the face through three main branches: the ophthalmic, maxillary, and mandibular branches. Trigeminal neuralgia is considered one of the most severe types of pain a person can experience, causing sharp, sudden pain in the face similar to an electric shock. The pain can last from a few seconds to several minutes, usually occurring on one side of the face or both sides, and is often difficult for the patient to endure.
Dr. Mohamed Koura's center, specialized in interventional pain management, is one of the leading centers for treating trigeminal neuralgia using the latest non-surgical techniques, such as thermal frequency techniques, offering effective solutions for chronic nerve pain, making the center a preferred destination for patients seeking safe and advanced treatments.
What Are the Main Causes and Symptoms of Trigeminal Neuralgia?
There are several causes that can lead to the worsening of trigeminal neuralgia, which can be divided into two main types: primary pain, which occurs without a clear or known cause and is the most common type in patients, and secondary pain, which occurs due to blood vessels pressing on the fifth nerve, brain tumors, or infections.
Trigeminal neuralgia pain comes in various forms of symptoms, and these symptoms vary depending on the intensity of the pain. One of the most prominent symptoms of trigeminal neuralgia is sudden, intense facial pain, similar to an electric shock, which usually occurs on one side of the face and may spread to the forehead or upper or lower jaw, depending on the affected nerve branch. Pain may also occur during simple daily activities, such as talking, eating, or brushing teeth. The pain may appear suddenly and last for several minutes, and it can be severe enough to make daily life very difficult.
How to Treat Trigeminal Neuralgia Without Surgery
Medications temporarily relieve the pain caused by trigeminal neuralgia in some patients, but as the disease progresses, medications are often insufficient. However, there are various advanced treatments available to treat trigeminal neuralgia pain without any surgical intervention, one of which is thermal frequency therapy. Thermal frequency treatment involves delivering low-intensity thermal frequencies to the fifth nerve nucleus at the base of the skull using a very fine needle, precisely guided by interventional radiology.
The treatment is performed under local anesthesia and usually takes around 20-30 minutes. Patients can return to the ward shortly after and can be discharged later that day. Thermal frequency treatment is a safe and effective therapy, and patients may experience gradual improvement in pain for up to two weeks following the procedure. During this period, they may feel some fluctuation in the pain intensity, which is completely normal after the treatment.
Benefits of Treating Trigeminal Neuralgia with Thermal Frequency Therapy
Thermal frequency therapy does not require incisions or openings, reducing the risk of infection and side effects. It also provides long-term benefits in treating trigeminal neuralgia pain, offering a sustainable solution for patients suffering from this chronic pain. Patients can return home on the same day of the procedure and resume their daily activities without needing an extended recovery period.

Radiofrequency activates the nerve and does not cause any damage to it.
Non-surgical interventions are a definitive treatment for some cases and pain relievers for other cases, which is determined by the doctor through a medical examination.
If the herniated disc is fully treated, there is a possibility of it reoccurring in some cases, such as not following the doctor's prescribed instructions after the intervention, experiencing an accident, or making a sudden wrong movement like lifting heavy objects.
The entire disc is not removed due to the presence of several risks and it may exacerbate the condition. Only the protruding part that causes pain is removed.
This cannot be done with radiofrequency, but it is performed through other techniques that Dr. Koura conducts.
The success or failure of non-surgical interventions cannot be judged through radiographic imaging because these procedures involve making subtle changes to critical parts to address the issue. Consequently, they do not produce significant changes to avoid potential complications in the future or damage to the spine and joints, which is our primary goal.
Spinal stenosis does not typically cause sciatica. In most cases, disc herniation is what may lead to sciatica. This does not necessarily mean that a patient with sciatica will also have spinal stenosis.
Sciatica may return if the patient does not adhere to the medical instructions provided by the doctor or in the event of an unexpected accident.
