What are the telltale symptoms of trigeminal neuralgia

Trigeminal neuralgia is mainly manifested as a sudden appearance of pain in the face like lightning or electric shock, a special painful expression at the onset of pain, severe cases can cause pain by washing the face, brushing teeth, serious conversation, and not daring to do these exercises.

Hope it helps.

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.

Trigeminal neuralgia is mainly caused by the compression of the adhesion between the nerves and blood vessels in the brain, resulting in paroxysmal unbearable pain in the trigeminal nerve area.

Yu Yanbing of the Civil Aviation General Hospital used microvascular decompression to treat migraine, with a success rate of up to 99%, which can fundamentally and completely reduce trigeminal neuralgia and make it not aware.

If it is one side, half of the face hurts, the pain is very uncomfortable, the same as pinpricks, especially when running and walking fast and other shocks, you can go to Shenyang Provincial People's Hospital for an operation that will not hurt, the cost is more than 10,000 yuan, the face will be numb after doing it, and it will take more than 1 year to recover almost.

Differential diagnosis.

1.Secondary trigeminal neuralgia.

The pain is persistent with hypoesthesia, obtusement of corneal reflexes, etc., and is often combined with other symptoms of cranial nerve damage. It is commonly seen in multiple sclerosis, bulbar cavita, primary or metastatic skull base tumors, etc.

2.Toothache. Toothache is often persistent, localized to the gums, and can be exacerbated by eating hot or cold foods. X-rays can detect caries and tumors to help distinguish them.

3.Glossopharyngeal neuralgia.

Less common and common in young women. Paroxysmal pain confined to the tonsils, base of the tongue, pharynx, and deep part of the ear canal, i.e., the distribution of the glossopharyngeal nerve, is similar in nature to trigeminal neuralgia. Swallowing, talking, yawning, and coughing are often triggered.

Attacks can be stopped by spraying with 4% cocaine or 1% tetracaine at trigger points such as the throat and base of the tongue and tonsil fossa.

If you are sick, you have to go to a regular hospital**:

Beijing Liming Trigeminal Nerve Hospital], they are designated hospitals by national medical insurance, specialized hospitals specializing in trigeminal neuralgia, and they can also be reimbursed after reading. Director Wang Yueting looked very good.

Beijing Huake Chu Qingcun expert introduction:

1.The nature of the pain.

Sudden onset of labor pain, manifested as a sudden onset of severe, lightning-onset, transient throbbing pain in the face, mouth, and jaw area, like a knife, fire, pinprick, or electric shock.

2.The location of the pain.

Pain attacks are limited to the distribution of the trigeminal nerve, mostly unilateral, more on the right side, and less common on both sides, the latter often starting from one side and then involving the contralateral side, and the pain onset areas on both sides are not necessarily symmetrical, mainly on one side.

3.Trigger point (trigger point).

More than 50% of patients have a special ** sensitive area in a certain area of the face, and a slight touch, the traction and vibration of the facial muscles can cause seizures, so that the sensitive area is limited in scope, concentrated in one or two points, called "trigger point" or "trigger point".
