Clinician Considerations Relating to Surgical Referral for Trigeminal Neuralgia Survey Background: Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a chronic, often debilitating, neuropathic facial pain condition. Given the severity of this condition, prompt pain management is critically important. Yet, there are often significant delays in referral to surgery (Hung et al., 2022). Ultimately, it remains the responsibility of the treating clinician to determine when a patient should be considered for surgical intervention (Bendtsen et al., 2019; Chong et al., 2023). However, care pathways for TN patients are highly variable due to the wide range of specialists consulted (Chong et al., 2023) and inconclusive treatment recommendations available (Bendtsen et al., 2019). Some data suggest, however, better outcomes in earlier surgery (Mousavi et al., 2015). Aim: This brief survey is being conducted to examine considerations related to referral for surgery amongst clinicians who treat trigeminal neuralgia (TN). Posted January 23, 2026
Understanding Clinical Trial Ecosystem in Primary Stroke Centres Survey You are invited to participate in this voluntary survey, as you are involved in the care of patients with stroke at a Primary Stroke Centre. The survey aims to understand the research capacity at your site. The survey will also explore barriers and solutions for clinical trial enrolment at your practice site. The survey will take 20-30 minutes and will help refine the Canadian Stroke Consortium’s toolkit to enhance clinical trial conducting capacity at a stroke centre.
