Facial Nerve Block for Trigeminal Neuralgia

The provider destroys part of a nerve by injecting a neurodestructive agent at or near the trigeminal nerve, a cranial nerve responsible for sensation and some motor functions in the face. This service is generally done to obstruct motor function in the face or scalp. Providers also perform it to relieve extreme nerve pain associated with a condition known as trigeminal neuralgia, also called tic douloureux, a chronic and extremely painful condition of the face associated with a nerve injury or lesion.
