Trigeminal Neuralgia
About Trigeminal Neuralgia
Advanced Facial Pain Care Experts
Trigeminal Neuralgia is a chronic neurological condition causing sudden, severe facial pain due to irritation or compression of the trigeminal nerve. The pain is often sharp, electric shock-like, and can be triggered by simple activities like talking, chewing, or touching the face. At Preetham Neuro Centre, Dr. Preetham Reddy provides expert diagnosis and advanced treatment for trigeminal neuralgia. With over 13 years of experience, we focus on accurate diagnosis, effective pain control, and long-term management for patients in Chandanagar, Madinaguda, BHEL, and Hyderabad.

FAQs
Trigeminal neuralgia is a chronic condition causing severe facial pain due to irritation or compression of the trigeminal nerve.
It is usually caused by nerve compression from blood vessels, aging changes, or neurological conditions affecting the trigeminal nerve.
Common triggers include chewing, talking, brushing teeth, touching the face, or even exposure to wind.
Yes, it can be extremely painful and affect daily life, but it is manageable with proper neurological treatment.
Consult a neurologist if you experience sudden, severe facial pain or recurring pain episodes affecting normal activities.
While not always curable, treatments can effectively control pain and significantly improve quality of life.
Epilepsy & Seizure Treatment
Advanced Care for Seizure Disorders
Epilepsy is a neurological disorder caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain, resulting in repeated seizures that can affect movement, awareness, and overall quality of life. These seizures may vary from mild episodes to severe convulsions depending on the condition.
At Preetham Neuro Centre, we provide comprehensive epilepsy care with a strong focus on accurate diagnosis, personalized treatment, and long-term management. Under the expertise of Dr. Preetham Reddy, patients receive evidence-based care designed to control seizures, reduce frequency, and improve daily functioning and long-term brain health.
Symptoms of Epilepsy
Identify Early Warning Signs
Epilepsy symptoms vary widely, but early identification helps ensure timely treatment, better seizure control, and prevention of serious neurological complications.
Seizures / Convulsions
Sudden jerking movements of body due to abnormal brain activity
Loss of Consciousness
Temporary blackout or unresponsiveness during seizure episodes
Confusion / Memory Loss
Difficulty remembering events or feeling disoriented after seizures
Unusual Sensations
Fear, anxiety, or déjà vu feeling before seizure starts
Body Stiffness / Falls
Sudden muscle stiffness or unexpected falls without warning
