If it only took one hour to radically change the future of facial pain research, drug development, surgical options, political policy and awareness, would you do it? Now you can with the Facial Pain Registry!

The purpose of the Facial Pain Registry is to bring the facial pain community together and collect data. By contributing their stories, participants play a crucial role in helping researchers, doctors, and policymakers gain deeper insights into the true impact of facial pain, ultimately paving the way for better outcomes.

Facial pain can be incredibly isolating. When pain forces you to cancel plans, miss important events, or step back from the people you care about, it's easy to feel like you're letting others down — as a friend, parent, spouse, or partner. But living with facial pain is not a reflection of your commitment to the people you love. No one should have to face that journey alone.

Our News You Can Use for our Fall Quarterly Journal is about talking to your loved ones with facial pain.

Hosted by The Headache Alliance and in partnership with the Facial Pain Association during Facial Pain Awareness Month, join us at 12:00PM on October 19th for a THA Lunch and Learn webinar that will explore the role of the trigeminal system in conditions including migraine, trigeminal neuralgia, cluster headache, and other headache and facial pain disorders.

We'll look at where these conditions share anatomy and pain pathways, where they differ, and what understanding those connections can teach us about diagnosis, treatment, and the patient experience.

Did You Know 💡 The Facial Pain Association has resources for geniculate neuralgia!

Geniculate neuralgia is a rare type of nerve pain that happens when a branch of the facial nerve, the nervus intermedius, becomes damaged or compressed. Ear pain, ranging from mild to debilitating, is one of the most common symptoms. Geniculate neuralgia results in severe, deep ear pain which is usually sharp, often described as an “ice pick in the ear”, but may also be dull and burning.
