Professionals

These pages are designed for medical professionals, to help in the diagnosis, treatment and management of Trigeminal Neuralgia. In recent years TNA UK has seen a rise in its membership as more people are given the correct diagnosis as a result of greater awareness of the condition amongst medical professionals. For example, it is now accepted that TN can affect people of all ages.

There are many articles and links to useful sites within these pages that are intended to provide helpful and up-to-date information to healthcare professionals from doctors to dentists, technicians and nurses. Articles range from the classification of TN to diagnosis and medical management. Further information can be obtained from contacting TNA UK on 01883 370214. This is a dedicated helpline run by trained volunteers who all have TN.

You may also be interested in other areas of the TNA UK website such as University College Hospital's Guidance Upon Drug Use for TN and 'TN - The Condition'. The Pain Community Centre website has a section dedicated to TN and this is accessible through the link below. The site has been developed by Cardiff University with contributions from key opinion leaders across the UK. It is aimed at those who want to enhance their knowledge and expertise in the management of pain, including TN. Their aim is to foster and support a community to improve the lives of those suffering pain and they welcome advice, help and support in developing the community further.
