Nerve pain in the face can be difficult to diagnose and incredibly complex to treat.
Neuropathic orofacial pain is a chronic condition cause by damaged or dysfunctional nerves that carry pain signals. Unlike typical pain caused by injury or inflammation, neuropathic pain can continue long after the original issue has healed.
In some cases, pain stems from direct nerve damage. At other times, it’s related to changes in how the brain processes pain signals, meaning the nervous system itself is misfiring.
Treatment depends on the underlying cause and may include medication, nerve blocks, or newer regenerative therapies. The key is in identifying what’s driving your pain; then identifying what treatment will be most effective.
