Brief description/objective
Acute facial pain presents a complex challenge in medical practice, requiring a comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach to its management. This narrative review explores the contemporary landscape of treating acute facial pain, delving into pharmacological, non-pharmacological, and advanced interventions. The significance of tailored treatment strategies, rooted in the diverse etiologies of facial pain, such as dental infections, trigeminal neuralgia, temporomandibular joint disorders, sinusitis, or neurological conditions like migraines or cluster headaches, is underscored. We particularly emphasize recent advances in treating trigeminal neuralgia, elucidating current treatment concepts in managing this particular acute facial pain.
