Facial Pain Research Foundation

The Facial Pain Research Foundation, located in Gainesville, Florida, is a nonprofit organization dedicated to finding a cure for trigeminal neuralgia and other neuropathic facial pain disorders. Established in 2011, the foundation focuses on funding research programs that aim to develop therapies to permanently stop nerve-generated facial pains and diseases. With an all-volunteer team, the foundation is able to quickly approve and accelerate research projects, ensuring that 95 cents of every dollar pledged goes directly to research efforts. The foundation has made significant progress in its mission, with several research programs reaching the milestone of planning human clinical trials in the next two years. By supporting innovative research and introducing cutting-edge technology, the foundation is working towards a better understanding of trigeminal neuralgia and other neuropathic pain conditions. Through initiatives like Stop-It Coffee for a Cause, which donates profits towards pain research studies, the foundation is making a tangible impact in the fight against facial pain disorders. Donations to the Facial Pain Research Foundation are tax deductible, as it is a nonprofit 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization.
