Transcript: Facial pain patients who are in a crisis
Facial pain patients who are unable to reach their specialist helping to take care of their problem will probably need to be seen in acute care medical facilities. In general, rescue therapy will be given and this generally means narcotic medications or narcotic-like medications.
The best way to get treated for a severe facial pain problem is to try to never end up there in the first place. This requires that you have a specialist who is not only capable but is very interested in treating your facial pain syndrome. The best approach is to not enter into this kind of a situation by taking your medicines to prevent pain.
