TNA UK Regional Support Groups

No one should face trigeminal neuralgia or facial pain alone.

TNA UK’s Regional Support Groups are a vital part of our support across the UK. They offer safe, welcoming spaces where people can speak openly, feel understood and connect with others who genuinely understand what this condition can do to everyday life.

Led by volunteers with lived experience, these groups do far more than bring people together. They help reduce isolation, break the silence and remind people that they are not alone. For some, joining a group is the first time they feel believed. For others, it is the moment they realise that support, understanding and connection are still possible.

Living with trigeminal neuralgia or facial pain can affect far more than physical health. It can impact confidence, relationships, independence and mental wellbeing. Our Regional Support Groups give people a place to be heard without having to explain everything from the beginning. They also offer reassurance and connection for carers, partners, family members and friends.

Groups usually meet quarterly. Some take place in person, some online and some in a hybrid format. That flexibility matters in a condition where speaking, travelling, or even facing cold air can be difficult.

Whether you are newly diagnosed, have been living with TN or facial pain for years, or are supporting someone who is, you are warmly welcome.
