Chairperson: Lars Bendtsen, Glostrup, Denmark In neurological practice, patients with facial pain are regarded as difficult to diagnose and treat. The evidence for existing treatment strategies is very scarce or completely lacking. Many patients with suspected trigeminal neuralgia are referred directly to neurosurgery for invasive treatments with a risk of severe or lethal complications. The objective is to improve the diagnostic strategies, to optimize medical treatment and clinical decision-making, based on scientific evidence and specialist experience, and to raise scientific interest in facial pain. |
