In some cases: In some cases, yes there can be a surgical or 'chemical' fix. See your neurologist or ENT surgeon to outline this as a possibility, based on your symptoms and test results.

Facial Pain Care: Good day; Initially, attempt non surgical treatment for Trigeminal Neuralgia. Consult with medical specialists-in pain management and neurology. NYC teaching hospitals have medical study clubs to improve disease specific treatment and possible clinical trials to minimize symptoms of tic douloureax. Hope I've helped!!
