Alternate Names : Tic Douloureux

Trigeminal Neuralgia | Symptoms & Signs | Diagnosis & Tests | Prevention & Expectations | Treatment & Monitoring

How is the condition diagnosed?

There are no specific tests that can diagnose trigeminal neuralgia. The characteristic pain in this condition often allows a healthcare provider to make the diagnosis. Testing may be done to rule out other possible causes of facial pain, such as diseases of the jaw, teeth, or sinuses. For example, an x-ray of the sinuses may be done to rule out a sinus infection.
