Precision Treatment for Lasting Relief: RF Ablation for Trigeminal Neuralgia
Trigeminal Neuralgia is a condition that transforms simple daily activities into sources of unbearable pain. At Vanchilingam Advanced Neurology and Stroke Care, we provide cutting-edge solutions like RF (Radio Frequency) Ablation, offering targeted and effective relief to restore your comfort and confidence in living pain-free.
Understanding Trigeminal Neuralgia
Trigeminal Neuralgia affects the trigeminal nerve, responsible for transmitting sensory signals from the face to the brain. Even gentle triggers, such as smiling or brushing your teeth, can result in intense, electric-shock-like pain, often described as one of the most severe forms of facial discomfort.
Key signs of Trigeminal Neuralgia include:
- Sudden, sharp facial pain that comes and goes.
- Pain episodes lasting seconds to minutes, often recurring in clusters.
- Triggers like talking, chewing, or exposure to wind.
- Gradual shortening of pain-free intervals over time.

Causes of Trigeminal Neuralgia
This debilitating condition often stems from:
Nerve Compression: Blood vessels pressing on the trigeminal nerve, causing irritation.
Multiple Sclerosis: Damage to nerve coverings, disrupting normal function.
Facial Trauma: Injury or dental procedures affecting the nerve.
Other Conditions: In rare cases, tumors or abnormalities may compress the nerve.
The RF Ablation Advantage
RF Ablation (Radiofrequency Ablation) offers a precise and minimally invasive treatment option for managing Trigeminal Neuralgia. By disrupting the pain signals traveling through the affected nerve, RF Ablation provides long-lasting relief without the need for major surgery.
Why Consider RF Ablation Treatment for Trigeminal Neuralgia?
Effective Pain Management: Targets the exact nerve fibers causing discomfort.
Minimally Invasive: Avoids surgical complications and offers quicker recovery.
Customizable Treatment: Tailored to the patient’s specific pain pattern and nerve involvement.
