    Yes, I agree.

    but, clinically many patients' TN diagnosis are not real TN. Some "TN sympotomes were due to neck injuries or inflamed facial nerves , acupuncture could help those problem , so I suggest patient should find professional acupuncturist with medical background one to try few sessions.
