Facial Pain and Spasm Care Tailored to You
Trigeminal neuralgia and hemifacial spasm are two conditions affecting nerves in the face. Symptoms of trigeminal neuralgia include short episodes of sharp facial pain. Hemifacial spasm, while painless, may cause severe twitching of the facial muscles.
Our team at the USC Trigeminal Neuralgia and Hemifacial Spasm Center uses proven therapies to help you successfully manage trigeminal neuralgia and hemifacial spasm. We work with you to fully understand your care needs and design a treatment plan tailored to your symptoms.
From medications to nonsurgical and surgical therapies, we aim to provide care that is effective in treating or curing your condition.
Why Choose Us for Trigeminal Neuralgia and Hemifacial Spasm Treatment
Your care team includes neurology and neurosurgery specialists, as well as experts in headache and movement disorders.
We offer treatment therapies designed to help you manage your symptoms effectively and reduce your risk of major side effects, like hearing loss.
Our doctors offer the latest advances in facial pain and spasm care, including medications, nonsurgical and surgical options.
