My husband is scheduled for brain surgery on September 5th. He has Been suffering since 2000 with this. He has no other options than surgery. 😢 prayers please
I’ve had TN for 15 years. Was in ‘remission’ for a few years. It came back and I saw this video. Called my dentist and he has a Tek-Scan machine and fixes bites all the time. I asked him to try that on me. After the first visit my shocks were almost gone. They were stopping my life. I have another appointment this week and he will work on me a bit more. It is so promising that I will tell the world about this possible solution for TN. It’s worth a try, right? At least try it before major surgery. Prayers for you 🙏🏻
22:30 omg. Ur patient just described my life for the past four years. And yesterday, my best friend, who is an RN discovered a condition called the infamous DROP ATTACK. I’m speechless. I have worked in emergency and trauma rooms for the past 24 years or so and I’ve never heard of this type of neurological condition. I’ve seen almost all specialists to no avail. I’ve had a TON of diagnosis including MAJOR surgeries like the placement of an LP shunt for psuedotumor cerebri. My spine is a TRAIN WRECK with significant injuries such as compression fractures, herniated, and bulging discs, annular tears and severe nerve pain completely, from my cervical spine all the way down. I AM SO SICK OF TAKING PILLS. THANK YOU 🙏❤🙏
I can’t begin to tell you how grateful I am that you made this video! I was diagnosed with TN in 2019 and after some dental surgery it did go away for a while, but it came back with a vengeance and I began getting piggy back attacks that lasted hours. Because of this video I was able to locate a list of DTR specialist and just today made an apt for a consultation. Like Kevin the protocol for TN did not make sense and the outcomes seemed temporary at best and risky with long term side effects in the worst case. The sightseeing in the neck area I feel too and my bite definitely feels off with a particular molar that can also trigger my attacks. Just do you have an idea how grateful I am, I’m my moms full time caregiver and she is paralyzed so my greatest concern is her well being. She was given only a year to live and she is thriving under my care going in 8 years now. This gives me so much hope for my future and hers. Time to start planning trips to the mountains again. God bless you!!! 💖🙏💖
im scared of surgery, ive been on gabapentin for 5 years now, 900mg a day and thankfully i just deal with "tooth ache" as my attacks...but they are slowly having to up it. because my neuropathy is getting worse throu out my whole body i have 2 different types, diabetic and trigeminal nuropathy.
@@edwynnacurrier7599surgery is not successful always , I will prefer gamma knife as one person got that in Japan and he had same artery nerve issue and he is ok from last 25 years ,I met him on reddit
I’m so sorry. I had this since 17 years ago prob before. Same dental to ent to dental to Tmj etc. diagnosed as classic migraines. I found the right doc Neuro. Just now I have it again 11/2023 to now. I go in to Ohsu may. Neuro surgeon. I had same medication. New mri says I have tn 2. Itp blood disorder, diabetes, one kidney it’s been tough. Radiation will be in too much for my kidney. I’m so sorry you’re having to do and deal with it too. This last couple months I’ve fallen and couldn’t get up. I had bbpv vertigo. You are explaining this so well. Down to a T. It’s finally calming down some. Not much. I also wear no lateral baha implant. Mine is on right side as well I’ve had to remove two dental implants. I hope you get feeling better. ❤❤❤❤. Your wife is a rockstar.
@@suzyashby1978 What was in MRI for tn2 diagnosis because MRI only tell compression on trigeminal never but how they told it is tn1 or tn2 and even normal people have contacts with nerve in there MRI without symptoms like my wife has sca artery touching nerve at 8mm but she don't have any symptoms MRI was done for other issues csf leakage and even at same time other lady has sca nearby nerve even at distal location and she has classic tn pain.So please explain how they told you it's tn2 from your MRI
GREAT VIDEO . Was nice to see something new , Unfortunately for me I did a round robin . first went t o the ent , then was referred to a neurologist who sent me away saying it wasn't a brain issue . then to a tmp specialist who I spent 2 grand on a mouthpiece, that just mad my mouth and jaw more sore every week . dentist swore I didn't have TN, but after a brain MRi , there it is a artery wrapped around the root . its been a long 5 months but I hope to get relief soon . but I must say they are both connected the tmp and the TN . my jaw seeems to trigger a lot of my attacks which are siesureish my right eye shuts and my face and lips get cryptic , like Godzilla smashing my head and rebar getting poked out of my face
I can feel an episode about to happen within the next 15 minutes. For the past four days I have had probably 20. I can’t do anything. I’m just waiting for it to hit and watching UA-cam to fill-in time before I get smashed in the head again.
I am going through the same thing here . All my doctor did was just prescribed carbamazepine. It doesn't really work it makes you very dizzy. But you have to wait until the pain goes away.
I had trigeminal neuralgia for about 9 years. It always started in September time when the seasons change. Eventually I went to another dentist who checked my teeth including spraying a cold liquid on all teeth one by one. I jumped when she sprayed my back to left wisdom tooth. She took an xray and showed me that I had a deep filling. She extracted it. Haven't looked back since. No more pain or tegretol. Now I also take kefir regularly as someone told me it could be gut related. Either way something worked.
@@DrBenSutterEugene yes doctor, it was dreadful. I believe it was a chill that made its way up along the filling to the nerve and then turned into an infection. Frosty weather used to drive it crazy. I think it was ether the dentist used to diagnose it. I jumped with the cold. Thank God the pain is gone. Take care
@@DrBenSutterEugenesorry Dr, I must eat my words. I'm currently going through yet another attack of this dreadful TN. Do you know anyone in the UK who can do what you do?
What about the pain and suffering of patients suffering from multiple neurofibromatosis type 1 externally and internally and w ith extra large tumour in the spinal cord along with tiny cyst right now ocpital nerve upto to the tail bone with edima in the hippocampus region Bulge in the hip region and pelvic regions, pain are similar, any remedies and solutions please
I have been suffering from Trigeminal neuralgia since 2013. This past Monday, I had microvascular decompression surgery done. The medication and Botox shots were no longer keeping the symptoms and attacks at bay. Even though it is an aggressive surgery, it was the right choice For me due to the complications, they found on my trigeminal bundle. It’s important to do the research and find the right doctor.
I've had TGN for 13 years, when its at its worse I'd liken it to a taser to the face, doesn't last long, but the attacks are frequent. At the moment, it only occurs during eating talking cleaning my teeth. I'm taking carbamazepine and amitriptyline, which does help, but I do get break throughs. I also have had, during the 13 years, periods of complete remission.
Lamotrigine I’ve had cluster headaches for more than seven years now been on many medications that do not work But I’ve been using a medication called lamotrigine for few years now and has helped immensely please talk to your doctor to try it.
I’m having tn. I’ve had to go thru this once or twice before. Most of my adult life. My Neuro gave me that same med 300 mg twice a day and more and I have to take care of a teenager they offered me Valium in er I said no. I’ve now got tons of dizziness. When I lay down and it’s Random. My Neuro said I had to take This I said no. She would not even send me to ent and or dentists like my mri reference me to do. I hope my light headedness isn’t seizure activity. I have itp blood disorder one kidney diabetic type two. I hope I can get some one to work on me. I too lay on the floor I am way too dizzy to get up. Someone has to literally pull me up
I'm watching this from the UK. What do you call this treatment so I can make enquiries for treatment here. Many thanks, you have given me hope for the future
I’m supposedly moved up to the top priority list for the Glycerol treatment but have been told it’s not available for the last 6 months. We are seriously considering flying to Germany to get it.
My poor dad is in so much pain and it breaks my heart, will honestly do anything to see him relieved from the pain, it all started in 2020 and it has worsened ever since, we live in Nigeria and the medicine here is no where near what is available in the west, will definitely have to travel, but i have a question sir Ben, will going to India be a more cost effective option since you said there are indian doc who specialize in the same thing you do because the USA might be too costly ?
Pray this works for this guy but what he describes is classic TN. TN has been known to go dormant, sometimes for years and when it comes back it comes back with a vengeance. Husband has had for 32y he has had lots of procedures, surgeries, treatments, medicines etc it’s been a roller coaster of false hope, it always comes back 😢
I've had the same problems. TN pain always comes back. Had the mvd, glycerol (2x), rhinoblation - lost count. The dr said I shouldn't do it anymore. Radiation is next on my list.
Doctor ben doctor ben do you not believe in the gamma knife probecause that is what they have me scheduled for in a few weeks. I live in Ohio and suffer badly. Do you think I should go through with the gamma knife procedure?
@@berniebennett6009 I cannot comment on whether or not you should undergo any specific treatment as I know nothing about your specific case. I am happy to do a phone consult with you if you want some questions answered before your Gamma Knife. 541-683-7500
I was diagnosed yesterday. I had a friend and neighbour who went undiagnosed for 30 years so I knew what to say when I spoke to my Doctor. I told my Doctor that Id been watching lectures on you tube, he diagnosed me right there and then and out me on Tegretol 100mg morning and night. Tell them you know more than them and demand a diagnosis. Hope you’re ok.
I'm going through this right now, my 3rd case of it but I've got it in my legs. Tried to go to work today and got sent home, just waiting for my Amitriptyline to take effect. Worse pain ever!!!
Iv not been diagnosed fully yet , but Iv been in and out of hospital, dentist, finally I got to maxioffical unit who are referred me to a neurologist, but at this moment in time I haven’t slept properly for 7 days I’m on all the meds , pregablin, tetragol , pain killers and all week everyday all day having 2 minutes attacks , I’m losing hope and im not gonna make it thru this
Hang in there dear heart, I’ve had this for over20 years and feel so bad for you. Just take one day at a time, one hour if need be, it’s overwhelming to focus on .more. This is a frightening time but you will make it. Try to take good care of yourself
My husband has been going threw this for 15 years .He is at a place in life where he can’t eat. He will soon be 84 n I’m 80 I don’t know what to do.His Dr. has been doctoring him for this from the beginning.
My mother has this pain from last 15 years she is in so much pain everyday and it breaks our heart but couldnt do anything and taking tegritol and other pain killers nothing works she barely eat and go outside with us because she is too much scared of pain she its like someone is torturing you with tip of sharp needle in your eyes she means this pain is unbearable please help if somebody can we are living in Edmonton Alberta
I would start looking here. www.digitalocclusionseminars.com/dtr-providers.html Not sure how many docs treat patients with a diagnosis of TN other than me.
Hi Doc. Im Patric, also a patient with TN (for over 15 years). I live in Johannesburg (South Africa). When i do a google search i don't see practitioners that offer DTR theraphy this side. Kindly assist if you know of any practitioner or hospital that provides such a treatment nearby.
Dr. I suffer from TN. Do you have a dentist or facial pain doctor in the Orlando, FL area that you could recommend? I was seen by a Facial pain dentist and prescribed carbamazipine and a dental guard. Thank you
Have tinnitus vertigo loss of balance pain beneath ear and sometimes face too also feels weight on head too and two days before I got admitted by ent doctor and advised for MRI and diagnosed by following Type 2 AICA LOOP IN RIGHT INTERNAL AUDITARY CANAL MILD ABUTMENT OF RIGHT TRIGRMINAL NERVE BY SUPERIOR CEREBELLAR ARTERY They suggested MVD surgery is there any other option other than drilling a hole in skull
@@DrBenSutterEugene Okay because....I had a TMJ MRI done in the past, and the radiologist stated that one of my condyles was "flattened" down at the top, and that it was probably something congenital. The MRI found no other pathology in my jaw joints. But if the TMJ MRI only shows soft tissue, then how did the radiologist see that?
That's what people say, but here we are with 2 different studies. No one is saying everyone has THIS problem. But it is true that many people have a dental issue that mimics TN and get misdiagnosed. Wishing you a speedy treatment and fast healing! God Bless!
The answer is nothing. DTR is a treatment is a TMJ therapy. The point is many people diagnosed with TN really have a presentation of symptoms in their TMJ that looks like TN. check this out. ua-cam.com/video/ZX_T0AO-ON0/v-deo.html
This is common, and people that have had 4 premolar extractions are a challenge because with fewer teeth, it is difficult to balance the bite, but not impossible.
@@DrBenSutterEugene also feeling the same sometimes it is on one side of face and sometimes on the other side and sometimes on both sides.. is it TN or TMJ.. cause i remember i am having this TMJ issue like when i was just a child no pain nothing just the clicking sound... Right now when i am trying to close my jaw and what i am feeling is like one side teeths are matching with each other but on the TMJ side they are not closing properly
That’s not TN! The drugs don’t work. Nothing kills pain like booze, I’m talking about tore up from the floor up hammered - didn’t touch the pain - nada. I was drunk, had a big old pity party but it didn’t even take the edge off of the pain.
Good morning Dr. I'm TN patient. Since from 6 years I'm suffering from the pain I gone through all types of medicine like ayurveda, homeopathic, allopathic etc but still I'm suffering from severe pain. I can't eat, sleep can't able to talk whenever the pain starts. I am afraid to do MVD or redio sergoury. Plz guide me what to do. I'm from India. Need your guidance to stop this TN from my face. Thank you.
I had a tooth filled December 2021 (told them something wasn't right) and now diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia. You know how it goes.. I'm surviving on medication. Please tell me if you have a contact near San Antonio, TX? If no I'd like to know more information. Willing to fly out for treatments. I'm desperate 😪 Erica
I currently have a trigeminal neuralgia patient from San Antonio. Happy to see you if you want, or we can start out with a phone consult... get some of your questions answered, then pick someone else closer if you like. Scott Pinkston is in Houston. (Katy, TX) he would be closer, but not sure how many TN cases he has completed. Hope that helps
I can't believe you are telling him to eat whatever??!! TN patients should not be eating bananas due to the potassium, Caffeine, tangy or spicey food etc....they all exacerbate the symptoms. Please read up on foods to avoid
My husband is scheduled for brain surgery on September 5th. He has Been suffering since 2000 with this. He has no other options than surgery. 😢 prayers please

only bone seen in in CBCT, also we employ Joint Vibration Analysis.
@@DrBenSutterEugene
How about a TMJ MRI....Does that show only soft tissue and not bone, then?
@@rainbow20112011 YES, CBCT, boney structures, MRI Soft tissue
@@DrBenSutterEugene
Okay because....I had a TMJ MRI done in the past, and the radiologist stated that one of my condyles was "flattened" down at the top, and that it was probably something congenital. The MRI found no other pathology in my jaw joints.
But if the TMJ MRI only shows soft tissue, then how did the radiologist see that?
FYI this isn't a dental issue.
That's what people say, but here we are with 2 different studies. No one is saying everyone has THIS problem. But it is true that many people have a dental issue that mimics TN and get misdiagnosed. Wishing you a speedy treatment and fast healing! God Bless!
Iam diagnosed with Hemicrania Continua, it has similiar symptoms, would this help for that? Maybe Im misdiagnosed with HC
Could be! The best thing to do is to come in for a consult, and lets take a look.
Does Kevin have a history of a a head injury and does he have a styloid on his right side?
Is there anyone in Canada doing this procedure?
@juliamccrea7887 where you at in Canada 🇨🇦?

Just call the office. 541 683 7500
I still don't know What is DTR to do with TN. Can any one tell me, please?
The answer is nothing. DTR is a treatment is a TMJ therapy. The point is many people diagnosed with TN really have a presentation of symptoms in their TMJ that looks like TN. check this out. ua-cam.com/video/ZX_T0AO-ON0/v-deo.html
Do you need all your teeth for the dtr treatment to work , for 19:42 example had premolar extractions for orthodomic, wisdom tooth removed.?
This is common, and people that have had 4 premolar extractions are a challenge because with fewer teeth, it is difficult to balance the bite, but not impossible.
Is OK to be treated for muscular tmj by a certified dtr with premolars extracted. @@DrBenSutterEugene
@@DrBenSutterEugene is it OK to be treated by dtr certified dentist, for muscular tmj with 4 premolar teeth extracted. As I live in uk
@@Smile-rd5fn yes, I have treated many with 4 premolar extractions
Sounds encouraging but does it trully go away for good?
There are a few multi year post op videos on here following the therapy.

How often does trigeminal neuralgia comes back after surgery
There are no good studies on this, but it is a known thing that it can com back as bad or worse than original pain.
Hello. Do you know of any dentists/doctors offering DTR in the UK please?
No one in UK is certified. Closest is Denmark or Germany
@@DrBenSutterEugene Thank you so much for your help.
@@sarahwooffitt4360 I hope you find your answer!
@forbeautifulsmiles Can bite issues create TN like issues on both sides of the face ? Thank you
yes it can
@@DrBenSutterEugene also feeling the same sometimes it is on one side of face and sometimes on the other side and sometimes on both sides.. is it TN or TMJ.. cause i remember i am having this TMJ issue like when i was just a child no pain nothing just the clicking sound... Right now when i am trying to close my jaw and what i am feeling is like one side teeths are matching with each other but on the TMJ side they are not closing properly
Hello, How long is the treatment and how many times Needed to be done in order to get a better result? Thanks
generally 4-6 visits, each visit 1 month apart. But that can vary widely from person to person

What is DTR? Can anyone tell me, please?
Ting, DTR=Disclusion Time Reduction. ua-cam.com/video/cT758gAHHxA/v-deo.html This might be a great place to start.
That’s not TN! The drugs don’t work. Nothing kills pain like booze, I’m talking about tore up from the floor up hammered - didn’t touch the pain - nada. I was drunk, had a big old pity party but it didn’t even take the edge off of the pain.
What's DTR?
Any recommendation for doctors in Houston?

I am in Houston also. Did you ever find anyone you’d recommend?

Good morning Dr. I'm TN patient. Since from 6 years I'm suffering from the pain I gone through all types of medicine like ayurveda, homeopathic, allopathic etc but still I'm suffering from severe pain. I can't eat, sleep can't able to talk whenever the pain starts. I am afraid to do MVD or redio sergoury. Plz guide me what to do. I'm from India. Need your guidance to stop this TN from my face. Thank you.
you have DTR Providers in India. search for DTR Certified providers, then choose one. Best of luck!
Hello i am also from india.. apki problem thik ho gye kya and india main konse doctor ko dikhaya apne?
Update??
I have a tiny vessel in close proximity to the cisternal right trigegminal nerve root entry zone what mm should I be worried 😊
@@Stayhumblestayfocusedstaybless what is in MRI exact wording ??
I had a tooth filled December 2021 (told them something wasn't right) and now diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia. You know how it goes.. I'm surviving on medication. Please tell me if you have a contact near San Antonio, TX? If no I'd like to know more information. Willing to fly out for treatments. I'm desperate 😪
Erica
I currently have a trigeminal neuralgia patient from San Antonio. Happy to see you if you want, or we can start out with a phone consult... get some of your questions answered, then pick someone else closer if you like. Scott Pinkston is in Houston. (Katy, TX) he would be closer, but not sure how many TN cases he has completed. Hope that helps
@@DrBenSutterEugene yes extremely interested
@@loopcheckphones 541 484 1955 ask for deb, call tomorrow morning
How much is treatment?
I can't believe you are telling him to eat whatever??!! TN patients should not be eating bananas due to the potassium, Caffeine, tangy or spicey food etc....they all exacerbate the symptoms. Please read up on foods to avoid
Thank you so much for the feedback! God Bless.
I dont understand a thing about the procedure. Is it with a dentist? I have this condition for 13 years already. Can someone explain please?
Good day do you have a number i can call please i am having this thing so bad😊
