When actor Salman Khan revealed his battle with trigeminal neuralgia, many Indians heard this term for the first time. Known as the “suicide disease”, trigeminal neuralgia causes excruciating, electric-shock facial pain that disrupts even the simplest daily activities. At Nivaan Pain Clinics (Delhi, Mumbai, Lucknow, Jaipur), we see patients every week who suffer silently with this condition, often misdiagnosed for years. Our FDA-approved Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) of the trigeminal nerve offers patients lasting relief without major surgery.
Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is caused by irritation of the trigeminal nerve, which controls sensation in the face. It leads to severe, stabbing pain triggered by routine actions – chewing, talking, brushing, or even a light breeze.
Unfortunately, TN is frequently misdiagnosed. Patients often:
None of these approaches address the root cause.
Interventional Pain Management directly targets the nerve causing the pain, using minimally invasive procedures. For trigeminal neuralgia, the gold-standard therapy is:
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) of the Trigeminal Nerve
✅ FDA-approved therapy
✅ 30–60 minute procedure, done under sedation
✅ Outpatient / day-care setting — no hospital stay required
✅ 96% success rate in relieving pain
✅ Minimal recovery time
✅ Safe, repeatable if needed
At Nivaan, RFA is performed by specialist interventional pain physicians with
decades of experience in advanced nerve procedures.
While Salman Khan underwent advanced procedures abroad, the same interventional techniques are available right here in India. Too many patients silently endure this pain, unaware that a proven solution exists.
The key is awareness and timely referral – the earlier RFA is performed, the faster and longer-lasting the relief.
