Fal-tor-voh is a treatment for a Vulcan degenerative neurological disease, involving a mind meld.
The disease causes the neuropeptide levels in the brain to decrease, and affects the logic capabilities. The treatment could only be performed by a Vulcan who was compatible with the patient, which usually meant a blood relative.
In 2378, Tuvok required fal-tor-voh as he began showing symptoms of the disease. However, neither of the Vulcans on USS Voyager were compatible, and he required a relative in the Alpha Quadrant. (VOY: "Endgame")
Tuvok probably received fal-tor-voh upon his return to the Alpha Quadrant, and survived with all his mental faculties intact.
According to the non-canon novel "Homecoming", Tuvok did in fact receive the treatment from his son Sek, who came aboard Voyager shortly after its return.
