Will the trigeminal nerve ever heal if damaged?
6 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Trigeminal Neuralgia: Trigeminal neuralgia is a chronic pain condition that affects the trigeminal nerve, which carries sensation from your face to your brain. If you have trigeminal neuralgia, even mild stimulation of your face such as from brushing your teeth or putting on makeup may trigger a jolt of excruciating pain. See a Pain Specialist for treatment options. Nerve Injuries take a long time to heal.

Maybe: One others causes of trigeminal neuralgia occurs because the nerve was damaged and heals I appropriately causing the pain. It can repair itself to have no pain but usually takes time.

Trigeminal nerve: Healing and repair depends on the amount and severity of the injury. Also the mechanism of injury is a factor in the recovery.
