The department of Neurosurgery has contact information on several area support groups. Additional information can be found on their websites as well.

Head and Neck pain, Trigeminal Neuralgia
www.tna-support.org

TNA (The Trigeminal Neuralgia Association) was established in Barnegat Light, NJ in 1990 by founding President Claire Patterson and a board of directors comprised of TN patients and their families. Prior to its formation, most TN patients suffered in isolation and knew very little about the disorder and its treatment. TNA’s founding mission was to improve the quality of life of TN patients through programs that empower patients to become knowledgeable about their condition and treatment options, that aid patients with chronic pain, that educate non-specialists on matters of diagnosis and treatment, and that encourage appropriate medical research.
