The following is a list of clinical trials being conducted by the National Institute of Health that may be of interest to patients with facial neuralgias. In most clinical trials, you must meet certain criteria to be eligible.  In some cases, travel and lodging may be paid for by NIH. 

To learn more about what clinical trials are and how to participate in one, visit the NIH patient information center.  

• Nerve Pain Study, Lakewood, California

• Diagnosis and Evaluation of Patients in Need of Third Molar Removal or Suffering from Chronic Facial Pain
  This trial's objective is to screen individuals with either "wisdom teeth" in need of removal, or with chronic orofacial pain as potential research subjects.

• Randomized Study of L-Baclofen in Patients with Refractory Trigeminal Neuralgia
  This study, funded by the Office of Rare Disease branch of NIH will evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerance of L-baclofen in patients with uncontrolled trigeminal neuralgia.

We will do our best to keep current on clinical trial information but cannot guarantee we will always have the latest information here.  If you are interested in participating in a clinical trial for facial neuralgias, you should periodically search  the NIH clinical trials yourself.

Another approach to locating current NIH clinical trials that might apply to patients with facial neuralgias is to browse all clinical trials being conducted by the National Institute of Dental And Craniofacial Research (NIDCR).
