Trigeminal Neuralgia Microvascular Decompression (MVD)
Precision microvascular decompression surgery to permanently cure severe electric shock facial pain.
Detailed Medical Overview
Trigeminal Neuralgia is often described as one of the most painful conditions known to medicine, producing sudden, excruciating, electric shock-like facial pain triggered by eating, washing the face, or speaking. Microvascular Decompression (MVD) is the only curative surgical procedure. Dr. Deepak Bariya places a Teflon sponge cushion between the compressing blood vessel and the trigeminal nerve root at the brainstem, immediately halting neuropathic pain signals while preserving facial sensation.
