Application
Conservative treatment of trigeminal neuralgia is supplemented by blockades of the damaged nerve branch.
The blockade is a local injection of the drug into the area of the exit of the trigeminal nerve branch:
- in case of pathology of the supraorbital branch, the drug is injected into the area of the inner edge of the superciliary arch,
- in case of pathology of the infraorbital branch – in the area of the nasolabial fold,
- in case of pathology of the chin branch – in the chin area.
With such blockades, the following can be administered locally:
- anesthetics,
- hormonal drugs.
Diagnostics
Also, the blockade can be not only therapeutic, but also diagnostic in nature, in order to make sure that the source of pain impulses is correctly identified, if such a blockade is effective, surgical treatment is performed:
Professional equipment
The neurosurgical department has a full range of necessary equipment in its arsenal:
- electron-optical converter,
- magnetic resonance imaging,
- multispiral computed tomography,
- radiofrequency denervation device
for effective treatment of trigeminal neuralgia.

Examination by a neurosurgeon is a key step in determining an accurate diagnosis and planning treatment for diseases of the brain and nervous system.
A professional neurosurgeon uses modern methods: MRI, CT, PET and others, which allow you to obtain detailed information about the structure and functions of the brain. Cognitive functions are also assessed.
The main goal is to detect pathology in a timely manner and begin effective treatment. The success of the recovery and the patient's quality of life in the future depend on this.
Neurosurgery is a complex field where surgical intervention requires millimeter precision. Any imprecise movement can lead to serious neurological disorders.
That is why the neurosurgical operating room must be perfectly adapted to the needs of the procedure. It ensures absolute sterility and protection against infections during open intervention.
Modern equipment systems help the surgeon work as efficiently as possible and guarantee the highest level of safety for both the patient and the medical team.
