This is an attempt by the authors to shed light on sources of facial pain. This often leads to protracted periods of frustrated searching for a solution. This research is often peppered with conflicting professional opinions. While this survey in no way is meant to serve as a solution, its goal is to heighten awareness in an often denied source of facial pain. Not all of the questions were answered, so the total for each question may not total to 130.

While this survey may not satisfy rigorous scientific standards, we feel the results are worth publishing and may provide useful information to facial neuralgia patients and researchers. Perhaps in some small way through diligence, awareness and hope, a light may shine and shed some answers to these very painful disorders. Question Response Percent 1. No, but experienced different pain after the procedure. Describe how your pain feels.
