Conditions We Treat

Neurovascular orofacial pain encompasses discomfort or intense pain in the face and oral cavity, involving nerves and blood vessels. This condition shares similarities with migraines, cluster headaches, and trigeminal autonomic cephalalgias, often manifesting as throbbing or stabbing sensations around the jaw, teeth and their supporting structures, temples, and eyes, sometimes accompanied by light or sound sensitivity, nausea and /or vomiting.

Diagnosing neurovascular orofacial pain can be complex due to its resemblance to other headache and facial pain disorders including common toothaches. At NCOFP, Dr Neysan Chah takes a thorough and personalised approach to diagnosis and treatment. This pain management journey begins with a detailed evaluation to accurately identify the underlying causes of your pain. In cases where further testing or collaboration with other experts is necessary, Dr Chah will refer you to trusted specialists or collaborate with them to ensure you receive comprehensive care.

Management options may include medications, lifestyle adjustments, and targeted interventions to help address underlying triggers. In cases where a multidisciplinary approach is beneficial, Dr. Chah will refer you to a trusted network of healthcare practitioners and collaborate closely with them to ensure comprehensive care. This collaborative approach enables us to address all facets of your condition and develop a personalised treatment protocol tailored to your specific needs. This holistic approach enhances the overall effectiveness of treatment, allowing patients to manage pain while addressing contributing factors.
