First it's important to show to the neurologist to see if it's a trigeminal neuralgia or any other headache similar to iit. MRI Brain is needed. There are various ways to manage trigeminal neuralgia. If adequate dosage of medication does not bring relief. Then you can have nerve blocks depending on which nerve is involved or radiofrequency ablation of the gasserion ganglion. Also there are surgical procedures .if your MRI shows a vascular loop then microvascular decompression done gives good relief. Or nowadays cyber knife surgery is a minimally invasive procedure in which high dose of focused radiation is given. So you can find about all these and explore your options,
