People with trigeminal neuralgia or trigeminal neuropathy often benefit from multidisciplinary care. A neurologist is usually the first specialist to evaluate symptoms and coordinate diagnosis and treatment.
Depending on the underlying cause, additional care may involve a dentist, oral and maxillofacial surgeon, pain medicine specialist, neurosurgeon, physiotherapist, and psychologist. Keeping a pain diary and sharing accurate information with each clinician can improve communication and treatment planning.
