In a rare and life-transforming case, Mumbai doctors have successfully freed a 56-year-old social worker from more than a decade of excruciating pain caused by Trigeminal Neuralgia, a neurological disorder known to cause extreme pain.

The patient, Sushil Verma, had battled relentless, electric shock-like facial pain for over 10 years. Initially misdiagnosed, he even underwent a tooth extraction and years of high-dose medications — but nothing eased his agony. Eating, speaking, and even smiling became impossible, forcing him into social withdrawal and depression. At one point, the pain was so unbearable that he even contemplated ending his life.
