trigemental neuralgia

can trigemental neuralgia disappear without any treatment?

Depending on the exact cause of the trigeminal neuralgia, YES, it can dissapear without treatment.

Lets say the cause was from trauma, either accident or surgical related, and specifically it was scar tissue, or possibly compression of the trigeminal nerve...it is more than likely if the problem came on lightly, it may dissapear just the same.

On the other hand, if the neuralgia is very strong and has no reasonable explanation, medical treatment might be the only option...carbamazepine is a common prescribed treatment. I experienced success with my problem (inguinal neuralgia) with treatment using nerve block injections and prescribed treatment of neurontin/gabapentin. My current medication, Lyrica, is fairly new to the market, although, it has a great track record over the past 30 years of testing. Lyrica is my best reccommendation for prescribed relief!!

If you are experiencing trigeminal neuralgia, I hope it will disappear without treatment!!

Best wishes...any other questions, please ask.

Hi,

Trigeminal neuralgia can wax and wane in frequency as it runs in clusters. The attacks most commonly occur during fall and spring.
Since the disease is idiopathic in most of the cases, it is difficult to tell whether it will just go away forever on its own.

I have been told by three Doctors that I have Trigeminal Neuralgia. My MTI came back normal. I have taken : Baclofen, Oxcarbazepine, gabapentin, Phenytoin, Lamotrigine, and Vimpat with limited or no sucess. I am looking for any help I can find.
