What is Trigeminal Neuralgia?
Trigeminal Neuralgia, or Tic Douloureux, is a neuropathic disorder of the trigeminal nerve that causes episodes of intense pain in the eyes, lips, nose, scalp, forehead, and jaw. Trigeminal neuralgia is considered by many to be among the most painful of conditions.

Whan can Carolinas TNA Support Group do for you?
Living with the daily pain of Trigeminal Neuralgia (TN) or related facial pain can have a paralyzing effect on one's life. Many families in the Carolinas like yours who face similar challenges in pain management want to share your experiences and strengths because there is so much we can learn together. Carolinas TNA offers support, an exchange of ideas, resources and friendship to Trigeminal Neuralgia (TN) patients and their families in North Carolina and South Carolina. CarolinasTNA is committed to raising awareness about TN in our communities.

Sharing
The CarolinasTNA website is a resource where TN patients can share in their search for answers and treatments. CarolinasTNA is not a healthcare provider and the information does not replace the advice of your physician. Always consult with your physician regarding any treatment recommendations.
