Advice
The Trigeminal Neuralgia Association UK exists to:
- Provide support, encouragement and a forum for TN patients and their supporters
- Collate and share information and research material about TN and treatment options
- Promote awareness and understanding of TN amongst the general public and healthcare professionals
If you have TN then you do not need to feel alone and anxious. This is an association of members who need to help each other and to receive help from those who have experience and advice to give. Join us.
If you are a healthcare professional treating patients with TN, then this Association seeks to help you by providing links to information that will further your knowledge.
Members have access to our Telephone and Email Helplines, manned by trained members who are also TN sufferers and therefore have understanding and compassion as well as a wealth of knowledge.
If there is a Regional Support Group in your area then you can attend meetings, hear helpful and interesting talks by specialists, and share your experiences with others like you.
You can join a community of members who write questions and replies upon topics they themselves raise in an on-line forum of members and experts. You can raise your own concerns (anonymously if you wish), and receive the help of others who have been through similar experiences.
In addition, we have built up a database of TN specialists throughout the UK and members can seek our advice before asking their GP for a referral to one of the professionals in what we refer to as the centres of excellence for TN across the UK.
