Acupuncture for TN?

My pain management doctor refuses to give me a nerve block but he sent me for acupuncture. I go 3X week and receive 12 needles into the cheek; I feel a burning pain and after 20 treatments really no results. Anybody else in the group have acupuncture?

I did 12 sessions with no relief unfortunately . I know it’s hard… We are all going threw it.
