Alternative medicine
Alternative treatments for trigeminal neuralgia generally haven't been as well-studied as medications or surgical procedures, so there's often little evidence to support their use.
However, some people have found improvement with treatments, such as acupuncture, biofeedback, chiropractic, and vitamin or nutritional therapy. Be sure to check with your doctor before trying an alternative treatment because it may interact with your other treatments.
