The most limiting symptoms of TN are excruciating facial pain that seriously reduces a person's quality of life and depression as a result of suffering severe pain, which, in the case of type 2 TN, can be constant.
Other symptoms are related to the anticonvulsants prescribed for TN and the often rather unpleasant side effects of the medications.
TN is often comorbid with depression and anxiety.
The main goals in the treatment of TN are to get rid of the facial pain and to manage any constant pain, which occurs in the type 2 variant.
