Max Hospital is offering advanced Microvascular Decompression (MVD) surgery, providing long-term relief to patients suffering from nerve compression disorders that cause severe facial pain and uncontrollable twitching.
Brigadier Dr. Harjinder Singh Bhatoe, Senior Director of Neurosurgery at Max Hospital, said that intense facial pain and persistent involuntary twitching are not minor discomforts but conditions that can significantly disrupt a person’s daily life, emotional well-being, and social confidence.
He explained that many severe facial pain and twitching cases are caused by a condition known as neurovascular conflict. This occurs when a blood vessel compresses a cranial nerve in the brain, leading to repeated irritation. Over time, this constant pressure can result in unbearable pain or uncontrolled facial movements.
Dr. Bhatoe emphasized that accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment. “Patients often suffer for years because their symptoms are misdiagnosed as dental issues, sinus problems, or stress-related conditions. With proper MRI evaluation, we can identify nerve compression. Microvascular Decompression surgery gently separates the blood vessel from the nerve, relieving the pressure,” he said.
According to specialists, many patients experience immediate and long-lasting relief after undergoing MVD surgery, making it a highly effective solution for conditions such as trigeminal neuralgia and hemifacial spasm.
The hospital stated that this advanced neurosurgical procedure is part of its commitment to offering cutting-edge treatment options for complex neurological disorders.
