Overview

This CME-accredited, virtual half-day symposium is dedicated to the latest advances in the diagnosis and management of trigeminal neuralgia and related cranial neuralgias. This comprehensive program will explore evidence-based medical therapies, emerging treatment strategies, complex patient management, and surgical innovations through case-based presentations and expert discussion.

Who Should Attend?

This educational activity is intended for neurosurgeons, neurologists, pain management specialists, cranio-maxillofacial surgeons, family practitioners, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, nurses, and others such as dentists, patients, and patient advocates that are interested in multidisciplinary state-of-the-art management of trigeminal neuralgia.

Learning Objectives

After completing this activity, the participant will be able to do the following:

• Diagnose trigeminal neuralgia and distinguish it from other causes of facial pain.
• Apply evidence-based medical management strategies for trigeminal neuralgia, including care of complex patients.
• Describe areas of advancements in diagnosis of trigeminal neuralgia.
• Evaluate procedural and surgical treatment options for refractory and atypical trigeminal neuralgia.
• Apply management strategies for special populations, including patients with multiple sclerosis-related and tumor-associated trigeminal neuralgia.
• Integrate emerging evidence and multidisciplinary approaches to optimize patient outcomes and recovery.
