Natural History, Complications and prognosis

Complications

  • Complications of surgery
  • Disability caused by pain
  • Side effects of medications used to control pain
  • Unnecessary dental procedures before neuralgia is diagnosed

Prognosis

Most neuralgias are not life-threatening and are not signs of other life-threatening disorders. However, pain can be severe. For severe pain that does not improve, see a pain specialist so that you can explore all treatment options. Most neuralgias will respond to treatment. Attacks of pain usually come and go. However, attacks may become more frequent in some patients as they get older.
