Chronic facial pain is one of the most misdiagnosed and mistreated conditions in the U.S. Many different forms of facial pain are grouped under the term "Trigeminal Neuralgia" because they effect the trigeminal nerve. It is estimated that 14,000 people are diagnosed each year and 140,000 currently have trigeminal neuralgia (TN) of some form in the U.S. Because of misdiagnosis, this number is most likely significantly higher than reported. It is often referred to as the "suicide disease" because of the immense pain that it wreaks on its victim, leading to suicide as sometimes the only way for the pain to stop. Repetetive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS)  is a non-invasive, painless procedure that uses magnets to stimulate the brain. This technology has been in use since 1985 and is being used today all over the world to adequately treat depression and anxiety. Studies done in Europe and Israel have shown impressive results using rTMS in the treatment of chronic pain and found that facial pain responded better than other types of chronic pain. The side effects from rTMS are almost non-existent according to documented medical trials, however the FDA will not approve the use of rTMS for those of us suffering with chronic facial pain because there is not enough data to support the claims. However, without access to the technology to run medical trials there is no conceivable way to obtain data that is satisfactory to the FDA. Those with facial pain are sick of medications. We are sick of needles and scalpels and brain surgeries that offer little to no relief. We need pain relief that for once will not leave us scarred or with side effects that make us regret our decisions. We just want a chance at living a normal life. We urge, no we demand, that the FDA hear our collective cry for pain relief. The technology is already here in the U.S. yet is only being utilized for depression and anxiety when studies show that it can safely do so much more. Allow the physicians and patients who know this pain better than anyone the opportunity for a trial in treating chronic facial pain with Repetative Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, so that one day this horrific pain will be a thing of the past and possibly pave the way in treating other types of chronic pain and debilitating conditions.
