Trigeminal Nerve mainly carries sensations from the face .....supplies motor nerves for muscles of mastigation so its mixed nerve with more sensory component
Facial nerve supplies all face muscles ,stapedius (middle ear muscle)......carries sensations from anterior 2/3rd of tongue so its also a mixed nerve with more motor component.

in corneal reflex
trigeminal nerve carries afferent impulses
facial nerve carries efferent impulses

im explained in brief if u need in detail ask anything

I wanted to ascertain if you can answer a question around the Trigeminal Nerve Obstructs and Trigeminal Ablation.

I'm html coding for any Pain Administration, Dr states that he do a Trigeminal Neural Block at Supraorbital, Supratrochlear and Face Neural can one code this Three times such as according to him or even are you able to only do it as soon as as it is just about all Branches from the Trigeminal Neural??? Could it be proper to Code 64400 By 3 or If Ablation 64600 x 3???

Thanks I'm new to Pain Html coding.
