A vascular study is: a diagnostic study to look at the architecture of the internal portion of blood vessels as well as the ANATOMY of the blood vessels as they course through the body so that relationships between the vessels & different organs can be seen. One cause of TRIGEMINAL NEURALGIA is the NERVE being irritated by an artery or vein that compresses it. However, vascular STUDY to detect that? Don't know of any.

Nerve Pain: Neuralgia = Nerve Pain. Where do you have it? Vascular study might be ordered to rule out other possible reasons affecting blood vessels which can also cause similar pain. Vascular study is assessing the flow of blood in arteries and veins.
