Trigeminal Neuralgia
Although not technically a headache disorder, trigeminal neuralgia respond really well to CiC’s non-invasive treatment, so we’ve included it on the list. Trigeminal neuralgia is a pain disorder affecting the trigeminal nerve, and typically.
- Causes severe and sudden pain on one side of the face
- The pain can last from a few seconds to several minutes.
- Like cluster headaches, the pain is shorter in duration, but can have several painful episodes over a period of time.
TREATMENTS
This non-invasive treatment uses a catheter (small flexible tube) gently inserted into the nasal cavity with X-Ray guidance to deliver medication that relieves severe headache pain.
