Facial Pain Association Regional Conference at Stanford
Join Patients and Clinical Care Experts at Stanford for the 2018 FPA Regional Conference
FPA patient-physician based conferences present a wide scope of information for those who suffer with neuropathic facial pain, including trigeminal neuralgia. This conference will bring together patients, researchers, neurosurgeons, radiologists, psychiatrists, and pain management specialists, under the expert guidance of the Facial Pain Association, and will help us build a strong community of local advocates. Our hope is that this Conference will serve as an important step in enabling this community to learn from, and teach one another, and to bring us one step closer to finding long-term, safe, and minimally-invasive solutions for those suffering from trigeminal neuralgia and chronic facial pain.
