We're asking the World Health Organization (WHO) to take action on Trigeminal Neuralgia & Facial Pain Disorders!
WHO, Please add Trigeminal Neuralgia to the "Health Topics" list!
By WHO including TN on their listing of health issues which could broaden awareness, having access to resources and create opportunities with regards to financing as well as researching.
We need to educate individuals associated with trigeminal neuralgia and it's characteristic, signs and symptoms as well as treatment options. Joining each of our voices collectively, we are able to be heard all over the world!
The Facial Pain Association is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit, voluntary health organization, serving patients world-wide who suffer from neuropathic face pain, including trigeminal neuralgia (TN), their families and the physicians, dentists and healthcare providers who treat them. TNA provides one-on-one patient support through it's toll-free telephone lines and its website and helps maintain over 50 local support groups throughout the USA, Canada, Europe and Australia.
Facial Pain Research Foundation aims to turn a page in history by finding a cure for the world's most excruciating pain.
Finding a cure for trigeminal neuralgia, the most painful disorder known to humans, is the mission of The Facial Pain Research Foundation. The Foundation is the brainchild of seven professionals across the United States, who are creating the first international force of scientists to work together to cure an ancient, but poorly understood diseases. Finding a cure will restore pain-free life to millions of men, women and children around the world, who are stricken by repeated lightning-like shocks of facial pain, the hallmark of trigeminal neuralgia.
Trigeminal neuralgia was first identified in the 11th century, yet it remains frequently misdiagnosed and inappropriately treated, in many cases resistant to the best available therapies, and tragically linked to depression, fear, fatigue, and suicide. The pain has a bizarre “hit and run” behavior; it strikes near the eyes, nose, lips, ears or teeth, sometimes disappears for days, months or longer, then returns. The pain seems to come out of nowhere with a stabbing intensity that stops life in its tracks and draws full attention to the need to find relief.
