What are the effective treatments for trigeminal neuralgia

Conservative drugs and surgery are two categories, most patients with trigeminal neuralgia are initially treated with internal medicine, such as carbamazepine for relief, but the drug can not cure the root cause, after a period of time is prone to drug resistance and large conditions, for some patients with trigeminal neuralgia, the best way is surgical microvascular decompression, it is recommended that patients must choose the neurosurgery department of a regular tertiary hospital.

What are the effective methods of trigeminal neuralgia? Now I'm going to explain it to you. What are the effective methods of trigeminal neuralgia, there are many ways to treat trigeminal neuralgia diseases, but each method has different characteristics and curative effects, when choosing, you should find an effective method that suits you according to your own condition, let the experts of our hospital introduce you to what are the methods of trigeminal neuralgia.

1. Drug**: Drug** will have a certain effect on trigeminal neuralgia at the beginning, but long-term use of drugs is not the preferred method, because long-term use will not only reduce the efficacy of the drug, but also have a larger effect.

2. Gamma Knife**: How to treat trigeminal neuralgia You can choose Gamma Knife**, which focuses the gamma rays on the pre-selected brain nerve nuclei or pain conduction pathways related to pain, and a large dose of irradiation destroys the pain conduction pathway, blocks the pain conduction and achieves the analgesic effect. However, the cost of one-time ** is expensive, and the success rate is about 60%, which may cause long-term radiation brain injury.

3. Physical**: including laser and physiotherapy, these methods have a certain effect on reducing the frequency of onset, but it does not change the nature of pain, but only temporary pain relief.

4. Occlusion**: Nerve occlusion with alcohol, local anesthetic, snake venom, doxorubicin or glycerol, etc. The occlusion can be chosen as a trigeminal semilunar node or a branch of the trigeminal nerve.

Coagulative necrosis of the nerve tissue at the injection site and interruption of nerve conduction, but all kinds of sensation in the nerve distribution area of the injection site are lost, and with the prolongation of time, the ** rate increases.

5. Traditional radiofrequency thermocoagulation: trigeminal nerve radiofrequency thermocoagulation is an internationally recognized effective method, which is based on the anatomical, physiological and pathological characteristics of the trigeminal nerve, and the radiofrequency electrode is inserted into the trigeminal nerve semilunar node or trigeminal nerve branch, and the radiofrequency current is used to selectively destroy the pain fibers of the sensory nerve to achieve the purpose of long-term pain relief. However, the ** rate is relatively high and various complications are due to inaccurate positioning.

Recently, when I got up in the morning and brushed my teeth, I felt a lot of pain in my mouth, and I also felt a lot of pain when I ate, and it hurt when I touched my face, which was really uncomfortable, and I went to the hospital for examination, and the doctor said it was trigeminal neuralgia. Let's share together what are the methods of trigeminal neuralgia.

1.The first method: the most effective method for trigeminal neuralgia is surgery.

However, there are many types of surgical methods, and different surgeries have different effects, and the small incision behind the ear "trigeminal nerve root microvascular decompression" can generally be used, which is not only less traumatic, but also is currently recognized by the international medical community.

2.The second method: the drug**:

The drug** must be regular, and when the drug** is ineffective or only partially effective, it must be re-diagnosed to see if it is correct. If the diagnosis is correct, the medication is appropriate, or the drug is toxic, other drugs can be used. If multiple drugs** are still ineffective, non-drugs** can be used.

3.The third method: the surgical method will destroy the trigeminal nerve, so that the trigeminal nerve loses its normal physiological function to achieve temporary analgesia, which can cause facial nerve paralysis, hemiplegia, ataxia and other sequelae, and after a period of time, the trigeminal nerve regenerates, causing pain again, and the rate is high.

Precautions. Trigeminal neuralgia is very harmful to the health of patients, and patients must maintain a good mood and control their emotions after passing the effective **, so as not to have a serious impact on the recovery of trigeminal neuralgia.

A health care method for trigeminal neuralgia.

1. Observation of the condition.

The surgeon should have a strong sense of responsibility, pay attention to the changes in the patient's condition, and find and deal with it in time.

2. Maintenance protein.

Nerve tissue contains glycolipids, and carbohydrates are indispensable components of glycoproteins, mucins, and glycolipids. Sugar is required for normal nerve function. Therefore, patients with trigeminal neuralgia need a high-carbohydrate diet to provide energy and protect nerve function, which requires 350 400 g per day.

3. Vitamins.

Vitamins B1 and C are important for protecting against cranial nerve damage. Vitamin B1 is the main component of decarboxylated coenzyme and plays an important role in the metabolism of carbohydrates. Vitamin B1 deficiency can cause neuritis, because nerves are tissues that burn and consume sugar, and if vitamin B1 deficiency occurs, it will cause lactic acid to accumulate, invade the brain, poison the central nervous system, weaken the ability of brain tissue to consume oxygen, and even cause temporary spasms.

Trigeminal neuralgia, sciatica, etc. are all manifestations of neuritis. Adult patients with trigeminal neuralgia receive 100 mg of vitamin B1 per person per day. The vitamin C supply is 75 mg, and the ** amount is 200 300 mg.

4. Excessive alcohol consumption.

If you drink alcohol regularly, excessive alcohol in the body can lead to a deficiency of vitamin B, which is one of the triggers of trigeminal neuralgia. In particular, liquor has a relatively high alcohol content, so patients with trigeminal neuralgia must control and not drink too much.

Trigeminal neuralgia is the most common cranial nerve disease, with paroxysmal severe pain in the distribution area of the trigeminal nerve on one side as the main manifestation, with a domestic incidence of 10,000 people, slightly more women than men, and the incidence rate can increase with age. Trigeminal neuralgia is more common in middle-aged and elderly people, and is more common on the right side than on the left side. The characteristics of the disease are:

Within the distribution of the trigeminal nerve in the head and face, the onset is sudden, with sudden arrest, lightning, cut-like, burning, intractable, and unbearable severe pain. Talking, washing your face, brushing your teeth, or a gentle breeze on your face, or even walking can cause paroxysmal severe pain. The pain lasts for seconds or minutes, and the pain occurs in periodic periods, with intervals similar to normal.

2** and pathogenesis.

Trigeminal neuralgia is divided into two types: primary and secondary, secondary trigeminal neuralgia includes brain space-occupying lesions and vascular compression, primary trigeminal neuralgia and its pathogenesis, Western medicine has not yet made a clear conclusion, and Chinese medicine believes that it is a liver and kidney problem.

Gender and age.

Most of them are over 40 years old, and most of them are middle-aged and elderly. There are more females than males, about 3 2;

The location of the pain. The right side is more common than the left, and the pain spreads from one point of the face, mouth, or jaw to one or more branches of the trigeminal nerve, with the second and third branches being the most common and the first branch rare. The range of pain never extends beyond the midline of the face and does not extend beyond the distribution of the trigeminal nerve. Occasional bilateral trigeminal neuralgia, accounting for 3%;

Painful nature. Such as sharp pain such as knife cutting, acupuncture, tearing, burning or electric shock, ordinary people are unbearable or even painful;

Regularity of pain.

Trigeminal neuralgia often occurs without warning, while pain attacks are usually regular. Each episode of pain lasts only a few seconds to a few minutes and stops abruptly. At the initial stage, the number of seizures is small, and the intermittent period is long, ranging from minutes to hours, and as the disease progresses, the seizures become more frequent, the intermittent period gradually shortens, and the pain gradually worsens and becomes more intense.

Episodes of pain are reduced at night. No discomfort during the intermittent period; 5. Predisposing factors: Talking, eating, washing face, shaving, brushing teeth and blowing wind can induce pain attacks, so that the patient is sluggish, cautious in action, and even does not dare to wash his face, brush his teeth, eat, and speak carefully, for fear of causing seizures;

**What are the methods of trigeminal neuralgia--[Beijing Liming Trigeminal Nerve Hospital], they are designated hospitals by national medical insurance, specialized hospitals for trigeminal neuralgia, and they can be reimbursed after reading. Director Wang Yueting looked very good.

Once suffering from trigeminal neuralgia, patients often suffer from pain, because of the repeated attacks of the disease, and even some patients will cause this disease when brushing their teeth, so ** is the key, at present, for this disease, there are many methods, we should know more, the following article is, what are the ** methods of trigeminal neuralgia?

1. Traditional Chinese Medicine**.

Traditional Chinese medicine is the ideal method of trigeminal neuralgia, which has the characteristics of high rate, no damage to and damage of nerves, no difficulty, no sequelae, no pain, etc., which is one of the common methods of trigeminal neuralgia.

2. Oral Western medicine.

Drugs can play a role in temporarily relieving pain, but such drugs are resistant, the dose of oral administration will gradually increase, and the effect will become worse, and there is a large one, if the drug is used for a long time, it can lead to memory loss, vision loss, hearing loss, liver damage, etc.

3. Closure**.

This type of ** refers to the method of injecting drugs at acupuncture points to numb and block the nerves, so as to temporarily relieve pain. However, this kind of ** is also relatively large, which may cause facial numbness, sensory impairment, etc., and the pain relief effect will be worse after multiple closures**.

Fourth, surgery. There are many kinds of surgery, the main purpose of which is to destroy the trigeminal nerve, so that the trigeminal nerve loses its normal physiological function, and to achieve temporary analgesia, but the operation can cause facial nerve paralysis, ataxia and other sequelae, and after the trigeminal nerve regenerates, the pain will be ** again.

Trigeminal neuralgia is caused by a combination of factors, if it is caused by cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease embolism compression to trigeminal neuralgia caused by poor hepatobiliary disease; Such a problem is to lower blood lipids, adjust the liver and gallbladder, and use nutrient supplements to balance the nutrition in the body.

Hello! Commonly used** methods for trigeminal neuralgia include medications, minimally invasive surgery, and open surgery. Commonly used drugs are phenytoin, carbamazepine and gabapentin, etc., depending on what kind of ** method is suitable for the patient. Wishing you good health!

Since the science and pathology of trigeminal neuralgia are still unclear, the most common modality should be long-term analgesia. Pain relief through drugs, with the prolongation of the course of the disease, the effect of carbamazepine drugs is not obvious, it is recommended to intervene in the new**to**, through accurate positioning safety effect is good.

Trigeminal neuralgia often occurs without warning, and the onset of pain is usually regular, such as talking, eating, washing face, shaving, brushing teeth, and wind, etc., which can trigger the onset of pain, resulting in the patient's mental malaise.

You can use drugs**, eat regularly and choose soft and chewy food, rinse your mouth when eating, talk, brush your teeth, and wash your face gently.

Medications** Carbamazepine tablets, vitamin B1 tablets, vitamin B12 tablets can be selected.

Occlusion**, or surgery** are available.

The first one can take the drug **, carbamazepine can be preferred, but after taking this drug for a long time, there are drowsiness, dizziness and digestive disorders, etc., and the second surgery ** can be used for drugs for secondary 3-geminal neuralgia, **ineffective, or the adverse effects of intolerant drugs for primary trigeminal nerve.

Survey data show that the number of trigeminal neuralgia patients in China is increasing by 10,000 every year, and many patients suffer from great pain again and again due to untimely and improper methods. In the face of trigeminal neuralgia, the wise choice of patients is to find a solution to the problem, so how can trigeminal neuralgia work well?

**Conventional approach to trigeminal neuralgia.

1. Drug**: The drug is mainly used for analgesia and is not aimed at **, and it is easy to recidivise after stopping the drug, which is a psychotropic inhibitory drug, and long-term use of the drug is easy to produce a lot of drugs, resulting in symptoms such as decreased immunity, slow recovery, indistinguishable hypertrophy, and water and sodium retention. Moreover, the drug has serious damage to the nervous system of the human body, and long-term medication can lead to mental decline and mental sluggishness.

2. Surgery**: The operation of trigeminal neuralgia is mainly for craniotomy, which not only brings great trauma to the patient, but also has a great risk, slow recovery, easy to damage other nerves, and easy to have sequelae after surgery and is very easy.

3. Gamma Knife**: Direct irradiation of the root of the trigeminal nerve through gamma rays to block the abnormal conduction of pain, so as to achieve the purpose of analgesia. At the same time, it is easy to damage other nervous systems in the brain, and the risk is extremely high.

Patients with trigeminal neuralgia should not be greedy for cheap and convenient small clinics**, otherwise it will not only waste time and money, but also aggravate the condition, deepen the pain, and induce a series of complications. Patients and friends choose the right method in order to effectively suffer from the disease.
