Get a QuoteWhat is trigeminal neuralgia?
Trigeminal neuralgia is a chronic pain condition that affects the trigeminal nerve, causing sudden, severe facial pain that can be triggered by everyday activities such as eating, talking, or even a light touch. It can affect people in different ways depending on the severity and how well it is managed. In the UK, it is estimated to affect around 25,000 people.
A trip abroad with trigeminal neuralgia can take a little extra planning, but if your condition is stable and you’ve spoken with your doctor, there’s often no reason you can’t still enjoy a holiday abroad.
How travel insurance can help if you have trigeminal neuralgia:
- Emergency medical treatment and hospital care abroad
- Medical transport or repatriation back to the UK if required
- Cancellation cover if you are unable to travel due to your condition
- 24-hour medical assistance while you are abroad
Travel advice for people with a neurological condition like trigeminal neuralgia
- Take trigeminal neuralgia medication at the same times you would at home
- Ensure you have enough medication for the duration of your trip
- Where possible, avoid situations that may set off trigeminal neuralgia pain
- Allow time for rest if fatigue affects you
If you have been diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia, you might need to declare it when applying for travel insurance. Take care to read the medical declaration fully, so the details you give about your trigeminal neuralgia are complete.
Travel insurance is still available if you have trigeminal neuralgia. The cover offered depends on how the condition affects you and how well it is controlled, and clear, accurate answers in your medical declaration help make sure the right cover is arranged.
