About

The Facial Pain Research Foundation (FPRF) is the only global nonprofit organization exclusively dedicated to funding and accelerating therapeutic research to cure trigeminal neuralgia (TN) and related neuropathic facial pain conditions — among the most debilitating and treatment-resistant pain disorders known to medicine. FPRF operates a rigorous, peer-reviewed grant program that identifies and funds the most promising investigator-initiated research across the full therapeutic pipeline, from etiology, genetics and diagnosis through basic science, translational and clinical development. By maintaining a focused mission, convening a world-class Scientific Advisory Board and annual Scientific Symposium/Workgroup, and building strategic partnerships with academic institutions, industry, and patient advocacy organizations, FPRF ensures that every dollar raised is directed toward discoveries with genuine potential to change outcomes for those living with neuropathic facial pain. FPRF also serves as an authoritative resource for the TN community — patients, clinicians, and policymakers alike — providing evidence-based information and tracking the evolving diagnostic and therapeutic landscape.
