Trigeminal neuralgia is often described as the most excruciating pain known to humanity. It causes sudden, shock-like facial pain that can be triggered by simple actions like brushing teeth or talking.
Dr. Atul Sharma, a renowned PGI Chandigarh Alumni, specializes in the comprehensive management of facial pain. From advanced medication protocols to curative Microvascular Decompression (MVD) surgery, we offer a complete spectrum of care to give you your life back.
Unlike a toothache or migraine, Trigeminal Neuralgia has specific characteristics. Dr. Sharma can help diagnose if your pain is TN or another condition.
Sudden, intense stabbing pain that feels like an electric shock on one side of the face.
Pain sparked by touching the face, shaving, eating, drinking, or even a light breeze.
Pain episodes lasting from a few seconds to minutes, often occurring in clusters.
Pain may disappear for weeks or months, only to return more severely later.
The first line of defense. We use specialized anticonvulsants (like Carbamazepine) to calm the nerve impulses and block pain signals.
Microvascular Decompression. Ideally for younger, healthy patients. Dr. Sharma surgically moves the blood vessel pressing on the nerve, offering a permanent cure with facial sensation preserved.
For patients who cannot undergo open surgery. A needle is used to create a lesion on the nerve, stopping pain transmission. It is a day-care procedure.
Treating the face requires the highest level of precision. Dr. Atul Sharma is one of the few neurosurgeons in the region with extensive experience in Microvascular Decompression (MVD), having successfully treated hundreds of patients.
"I couldn't eat or talk without pain for 5 years. I thought my life was over. Dr. Sharma performed MVD surgery, and I woke up pain-free. It was a miracle."
