Trigeminal Neuralgia - Causes, Symptoms,
Prevention and Treatment
2
What is Trigeminal Neuralgia ?
Trigeminal Neuralgia, also known as Tic
Douloureaux, is a nerve disorder that causes
abrupt, searing, electric-shock-like facial
pains, most commonly the pain involves the lower
face and jaw, but symptoms may appear near the
nose, ears, eyes or lips. Many experts say
trigeminal neuralgia is the most unbearably
painful human condition. Neuralgia is
severe pain along the course of a nerve. The pain
occurs because of a change in neurological
structure or function due to irritation or damage
of a nerve.

What Causes Trigeminal Neuralgia?
  • The human face has two trigeminal nerves, one on
    each side. Each nerve splits into three branches
    which transmit sensations of pain and touch from
    the face, mouth, and teeth to the brain. 
  • Most cases of trigeminal neuralgia are believed
    to be caused by blood vessels pressing on the
    root of the trigeminal nerve. This is said to
    make the nerve transmit pain signals which are
    experienced as the stabbing pains of trigeminal
    neuralgia.

Symptoms of Trigeminal Neuralgia
  • The pain of TN can come in sharp spasms that feel
    like electric shocks. Pain generally occurs on
    one side of the face and may be brought on by
    sound or touch. Pain can be triggered by routine
    acts, including
  • Brushing your teeth
  • Shaving
  • Putting on makeup
  • Touching your face
  • Eating or drinking
  • Speaking
  • A breeze on your face

5
How Trigeminal Neuralgia Is Diagnosed ?
  • Theres no single test that your doctor can order
    to help them diagnose TN. Diagnosis will depend
    on the type and location of the pain and factors
    that trigger the pain. Your doctor will first
    evaluate your medical history and perform a
    physical exam.
  • This will include a neurological exam to
    determine which part of the trigeminal nerve is
    being affected. They will touch various parts of
    your face to determine the location of the pain.
  • Then they will order tests to rule out other
    conditions with similar symptoms, such as cluster
    headaches or postherpetic neuralgia, which is a
    painful condition that affects nerve fibers and
    skin. They may also order an MRI of your head,
    which can help determine whether multiple
    sclerosis is causing your pain.

How to Prevent the Spread of Trigeminal Neuralgia
?
  • Although there is no cure for trigeminal
    neuralgia, however, the following steps may help
    prevent attacks
  • Eat soft foods
  • Make sure your drinks and foods are not too cold
    or hot when you consume them
  • Wash you face with lukewarm water (body
    temperature).
  • Use cotton pads when washing your face
  • Rinse your mouth with lukewarm water after eating
    if tooth brushing triggers an attack
  • Avoid known triggers as much as possible

8
What is the Treatment for Trigeminal Neuralgia?
  • You have various options to deal with this
    condition, including medication, Homeopathy and
    surgery.
  • 1. Medication
  • Medication can provide relief from pain and
    reduce the number of attacks. The first form of
    trigeminal neuralgia treatment is typically
    anti-seizure medications, which are drugs that
    block nerve firing. Some other second line or
    adjunctive medications include muscle relaxants
    and tricyclic antidepressants.
  • Moreover, in the past few years there has been
    some ground breaking research in the field of
    homeopathic and Ayurvedic medicine and the
    patients have seen outstanding improvements in
    trigeminal neuralgia pain.
  • Biogetica offers a natural treatment for
    Trigeminal Neuralgia.
  • OM 13 Formula is a Bio-resonant combination of
    organic remedies, traditionally believed to work
    on the Nervous system by bringing about positive
    changes at the vibrational level.

  • 2. Surgery
  • While most cases of TN respond to medication,
    sometimes pain will stop responding to medication
    and severe symptoms can return. In those cases,
    surgery may be an option.
  • In many cases surgery helps, but symptoms may
    return months or even years later. Surgical
    options for trigeminal neuralgia include
  • Microvascular decompression (MVD)
  • Percutaneous glycerol rhizotomy (PGR)
  • PBCTN (percutaneous balloon compression of the
    trigeminal nerve)
  • PSRTR (Percutaneous stereotactic radiofrequency
    thermal rhizotomy)
  • PSR (partial sensory rhizotomy)
  • GKR (gamma-knife radiosurgery)
