Partnering with healthcare professionals is integral to our mission to support, educate, and advocate for people living with neuropathic facial pain. The FPA’s Professional Membership and Sponsorship Programs connect the worldwide facial pain community with medical centers and their specialists diagnosing and treating neuropathic facial pain and related healthcare conditions. Today, we are highlighting Cleveland Clinic.

If you have facial pain, it is important to find the best doctor for you who knows about your condition. Although we do not recommend specific doctors, you may start your search with the facial pain experts on our Medical Advisory Board and the Find a Doctor list, where our Signature Professional Members are listed.

You can learn more about finding the best care for you by watching our webinar, “Decision Making: How to Choose the Right Doctor and Treatment for You” https://www.facepain.org/webinars/decision-making-how-to-choose-the-right-doctor-and-treatment-for-you/?fbclid=IwY2xjawUCwKpwZG9mAWV4dG4DYWVtAjEwAGJyaWQRMUczTjQxbG5Da3pTTGJQWUJzcnRjBmFwcF9pZBAyMjIwMzkxNzg4MjAwODkyAAEeS0GqqQtIQ4MM6PhBuiBAsRQMbv5UmAo5hpyL345affNpaSso4EyIkNJsonA_aem_7EIvH7VM24H4mJN_RtuEWQ

“A facial pain diagnosis often depends heavily on the details of the patient’s story: where the pain is located, how it feels, how long it lasts, what triggers it, whether there is numbness, what treatments have helped or failed, what procedures have been done, and how the pain affects daily life. The more clearly a patient can tell this story, the better the clinician can understand the pattern and make a thoughtful plan.

This is where artificial intelligence may help.”
