Default Is this a common procedure for TN
I came across this article for Johns Hopkins. This is a link for a procedure that puts a teflon pad between the Trigeminal nerve and the area it rubs against. I have never heard of this, but I am new and just learning about this condition. Have you all heard of this?

The procedure that you are referring to is called a Microvascular Decompression or MVD. It is quite common for TN type 1 or Typical TN. You can learn more about MVD and other procedures at the TNA Facial Pain Network.
