Controversies in the Management of Trigeminal Neuralgia: A Debate
8th March, 2026, 08:35 - 09:35
Sunset 1-3

This dynamic session will explore hotly contested topics in the diagnosis and surgical management of trigeminal neuralgia, featuring opposing expert viewpoints on complex clinical scenarios. Ideal for neurosurgeons, pain specialists, and trainees interested in sharpening their clinical reasoning and decision-making in facial pain management.

Objectives

At the conclusion of this session, attendees will be able to:

  • Evaluate differing expert perspectives on controversial clinical and surgical decisions in the management of trigeminal neuralgia.
  • Distinguish between clinical scenarios that warrant microvascular decompression versus alternative surgical or medical approaches.
  • Formulate individualized treatment strategies by integrating radiographic findings, patient factors, and evolving evidence in facial pain care.
