Progress has been made in the recent years both for the pathogenesis and surgical treatment due to implementation of neuroradiological techniques. Surgery has also taken advantage from the introduction of the endoscope and neuronavigation in the operating room. New drugs, such as BTX-A, may be offered to patients before surgery or to patients unwilling to undergo surgery. Better definition of GKRS targets would improve the results of this technique. Neurostimulation might represent an opportunity in patients refractory to other surgical treatments, but further studies are needed due to the few cases treated.

I know that there is always hope that better drugs can be found and there is some research into why some people feel pain and some don't. It's a rare problem so not a lot of research happens.

I heard of trial of nerve blockers with reduced side afects.

Latest advances seem to fall within the category of diagnostic tools, and this means that the MRIs are getting better at finding the culprit.
Other advances are in the realm of the machinery of the gamma knife surgical device, which used in conjunction with better MRI scanning are more proficient in changing the biology of the trigeminal nerve so as to alleviate the pain and require fewer trips to the neurosurgeon.
