Living with persistent facial pain can be physically and emotionally exhausting. Whether the pain is sharp and electric, dull and burning, or unpredictable and constant, it can interfere with speaking, eating, and even smiling. At Neurology and Pain Management Clinic (NPMC) in Delhi, Dr. Gautam Arora (MBBS, MD, DM) offers cutting-edge solutions for facial pain, including implanted nerve devices, that offer hope when conventional treatments fail.
Understanding Facial Pain: More Than Just a Symptom
Facial pain may arise from conditions like:
-
Trigeminal Neuralgia – Sudden, severe facial shocks triggered by touch or routine activities.
-
Post-Herpetic Neuralgia – Persistent pain following a shingles outbreak.
-
Atypical Facial Pain – Chronic, poorly defined facial discomfort.
-
Neuropathy – Nerve damage affecting facial sensation or control.
When medications and nerve blocks no longer provide relief, advanced solutions like neuromodulation via implanted devices can offer lasting comfort.
How Implanted Nerve Devices Work
Implanted nerve devices are small systems placed under the skin, typically near the affected nerve pathway. These devices send mild electrical impulses to modulate or block pain signals before they reach the brain.
One common approach is Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS) for facial nerves, which targets pain directly at the source. The device is programmable and adjustable based on your pain pattern and intensity.
The Procedure: Minimally Invasive and Personalised
-
Initial Evaluation – Dr. Gautam Arora conducts a thorough assessment, including diagnostic blocks, to determine nerve involvement.
-
Trial Phase – A temporary device is placed to assess effectiveness over a few days.
-
Permanent Implantation – If the trial is successful, a permanent implant is placed under local or mild general anaesthesia.
-
Post-Procedure Management – Patients receive follow-up care and device adjustments tailored to their relief.
