  • nice video. amazing breakthrough. about how many people are diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia each year?

  • @ChiroManchesterNH - Thank you for your comment.Most evidence about the incidence and prevalence of trigeminal neuralgia is from the USA.The annual incidence (age adjusted to the 1980 age distribution of the USA) is 5.9/100,000 women and 3.4/100,000 men. The incidence tends to be slightly higher in women at all ages, and increases with age. - From Dr. Robert R. Goodman, Chair of Neurosurgery
