Face pain
A guide for patients and carers
Summary
There are a number of different types of face pain, some of which can be severe and persistent. Many types of face pain can be effectively controlled by use of appropriate drug treatment. For some people, affected by conditions such as trigeminal neuralgia, where drug treatment proves ineffective, modern surgical techniques often provide substantial relief from the pain. Pain management, i.e. developing coping strategies and control over the pain is important for all people with chronic pain.
