Microvascular Decompression for Trigeminal Neuralgia

Microvascular Decompression for Trigeminal Neuralgia

Freedom from Facial Pain, Without Numbing or Burning

Trigeminal Neuralgia is one of the most painful nerve conditions, often described as sudden, electric-shock-like pain on one side of the face. Simple actions like brushing teeth, chewing, talking, or even wind touching the face can trigger severe attacks of pain.

At Sai Sankararao Brain Spine & Neuro Clinic, we offer Microvascular Decompression (MVD) — a safe and effective surgical solution to provide long-lasting relief without damaging the nerve.

What is Microvascular Decompression (MVD)?

Trigeminal Neuralgia is usually caused by a blood vessel pressing on the trigeminal nerve, which controls facial sensation. In MVD, we perform a microscopic surgery to gently move the blood vessel away from the nerve and place a tiny cushion (Teflon pad) between them to stop the pressure.

This reduces or completely stops the pain without cutting or destroying the nerve, unlike other procedures.
