“…Nerve blocks may be extremely important in treating patients who present with extremely painful illnesses because the main objective of treatment for these individuals is pain alleviation. The trigeminal nerve's anatomy and circulatory connections may be studied using magnetic resonance imaging, which efficiently identifies compression of the trigeminal nerve [6][7][8][9]. Multiple oral pharmacologic therapies (analgesics, muscle relaxants, etc.)…”

In rare instances, the extremely painful disorder trigeminal neuralgia (TN) may develop as a result of multiple sclerosis (MS). In this article, we will be discussing the case of a 56-year-old female with TN. Antidepressants and analgesics can lessen the pain, although they were not very effective, and higher doses led to greater drowsiness and a poorer quality of life. Radiofrequency ablation helped this patient significantly lower the pain and led to an improved lifestyle. This case presents right-side radiofrequency ablation of Gasserian ganglion in a patient with unilateral TN with MS.
