Trigeminal Neuralgia Association Seventh National Conference

The Department of Neurosurgery at Wayne State University School of Medicine in collaboration with the Trigeminal Neuralgia Association invites you to attend the 7th National Conference to be held September 12-13, 2008 at the Dearborn Inn in Dearborn, Michigan. Please see registration information below.

The Trigeminal Neuralgia Association is a national, non-profit association concerned with the plight of those who suffer from trigeminal neuralgia (TN). TN is a disorder of the fifth cranial nerve causing episodes of intense, stabbing, electric shock-like pain in the areas of the face where the nerve is distributed. While not fatal, TN is considered to be one of the most painful afflictions known.

The 7th National Conference offers continuing education for healthcare professionals including physicians, nurses and dentists. In addition, patients are invited to attend and participate side-by-side with the medical professionals in all education sessions and debates.
