A member asked:

How long after trigeminal ganglion block will patient get relief? and how long should it typically last? and what are the side effects of it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Immediate: 6-18 months of relief. Tough block technically speaking- makes sure it is done through experienced hands.
