Was an experimental one, and actually need to get part of it repaired soon which I’m not looking forward to.
But basically, the trigeminal nerve bundle comes up from your neck through your right jawbone, heads up around your mouth and cheek bone to your ear and brain stem.
Mine involved having a molar removed (I need a new false one - this one got me 16 years but the new ones are billed as lasting a life time) with laparoscopic surgery to move up into the cavity, and insert small bits of poly-fibers between the offending occlusions in the myelin. If they manage to get all of the offending parts, the myelin degradation stops - for most people. Some with atypical cases or a case brought on by multiple sclerosis there’s no cure. As it is, there’s no treatment for symptoms but my god for those without a solution, assisted suicide is truly the only humane thing.
