Understanding and treating what is often called the world's worst pain.
INSIGHTS provides an illustrated roadmap from diagnosis to the best available medical and surgical treatments, as well as a 10-step approach to “moving from patient to person” and practical tips on coping with recurrent pain.
Dr. Joanna Zakrzewska, a leading Orofacial Pain Specialist, weaves patient stories and medical science into an informative narrative of the successes and shortcomings of various treatments.
Published by TNA in 2006.
Dr. Zakrzewska sought input from patients across the United States and Britain, who described their facial pain experience and their search for help in stories and poems. She says it is the patients who best define the pain of trigeminal neuralgia, in words such as “screaming pain, lightning bolts, electrical shocks, sword and fire.”
