Hi gillian,

 

There treatments for trigeminal neuralgia including medications and nerve blocks.  Although many folks have reported significant resolution of symptoms after having CCSVI surgery, I have no idea if TN has been a symptom those folks have normally experienced beforehand.

Hi gillian,

I also have secondary progressive MS as well as trigeminal neuralgia and I take drugs and Lisa suggested.

 

This is an interesting question to me, but I have not heard of anyone suggesting this may be true. We need some people would have these conditions and have had this treatment to weigh in on the answer. 

 

I will be watching him, and I hope you will watch too. Please let us know if you hear anything. Thank you.
