Description

The Trigeminal Neuralgia Association was established in 1990 to provide a support network for individuals suffering from trigeminal neuralgia. Trigeminal neuralgia, or tic douloureux, is a neurological disorder characterized by sudden, recurring attacks of acute pain in the areas of the face where the trigeminal nerve is distributed -- lips, cheeks, jaw, forehead, nose, and eyes. The goals of the association are to provide mutual aid, support and encouragement to individuals and families affected by the disorder; act as a resource for information on trigeminal neuralgia; and increase public and professional awareness of the disorder.

Print Resources

The Trigeminal Neuralgia Association collects and distributes various articles about the disorder. Planned publications include informational pamphlets about trigeminal neuralgia for the general public. Serial Publications: Currently produces a quarterly newsletter and general information brochure.
