Trigeminal Neuralgia Treatment in Bangalore led by Dr. Ravi Mohan Rao

Trigeminal Neuralgia is a chronic neurological condition that causes severe, sudden-onset facial pain. Often described as sharp, electric shock-like episodes, the pain can be debilitating and unpredictable, interfering with basic functions like speaking, eating, or brushing teeth. At Neuro Doctors, we specialize in advanced and compassionate Trigeminal Neuralgia Treatment in Bangalore, led by renowned neurosurgeon Dr. Ravi Mohan Rao.


Understanding Trigeminal Neuralgia

Trigeminal Neuralgia affects the trigeminal nerve, responsible for facial sensations. Even mild stimulation—such as a gust of wind or light touch—can trigger episodes of intense pain. These episodes may last from a few seconds to a couple of minutes but can recur frequently and without warning. In most cases, the cause is compression of the trigeminal nerve by a blood vessel, although it can also be linked to multiple sclerosis, tumors, or arise without a known cause (idiopathic).

Proper management begins with accurate diagnosis and a customized treatment plan—services we are proud to offer at our center for Trigeminal Neuralgia Treatment in Bangalore.


Expert Diagnosis and Evaluation

At Neuro Doctors, we recognize that Trigeminal Neuralgia is often misdiagnosed as dental problems or other facial pain disorders. That’s why we conduct thorough neurological evaluations and use advanced imaging technologies, including high-resolution MRI scans, to pinpoint the exact cause of the condition.

Under the expert care of Dr. Ravi Mohan Rao, patients benefit from precise diagnostics and an individualized treatment strategy that ensures long-term relief.


Medical Management Options

The first line of Trigeminal Neuralgia treatment often includes medications such as carbamazepine or gabapentin, which work to calm overactive nerves and reduce pain episodes. While medications can be effective initially, they often lose efficacy over time or produce side effects like fatigue and dizziness. In such cases, surgical options are considered for more lasting relief.


Microvascular Decompression (MVD) Surgery

Microvascular Decompression (MVD) is the most definitive surgical treatment for Trigeminal Neuralgia caused by vascular compression. This procedure involves gently repositioning or cushioning the blood vessel pressing on the trigeminal nerve, thereby eliminating the root cause of the pain.

Performed by Dr. Ravi Mohan Rao, one of the most experienced neurosurgeons offering Trigeminal Neuralgia Treatment in Bangalore, MVD is a minimally invasive brain surgery that provides immediate and long-lasting relief. The procedure is conducted under general anesthesia, typically requires a short hospital stay, and preserves facial sensation—unlike some nerve-damaging techniques.


Gamma Knife Radiosurgery – A Non-Invasive Alternative

For patients who are not candidates for traditional surgery due to age or medical conditions, Gamma Knife Radiosurgery is an excellent alternative. This non-invasive procedure uses focused beams of radiation to target the root of the trigeminal nerve without making any incisions.

Gamma Knife Radiosurgery offers a shorter recovery period and has a high success rate in reducing or eliminating pain. While it may take a few weeks to see the full benefits, many patients experience significant pain relief without the need for hospitalization.

This cutting-edge treatment is part of our comprehensive suite of services for Trigeminal Neuralgia Treatment in Bangalore.
