What are the effects of trigeminal neuralgia other than pain?

  Trigeminal neuralgia attacks without any aura, mostly on one side of the attack, the pain is intense like electric burning, needle-like, knife-like or tearing pain, lasting for a few seconds to 1-2 minutes, often accompanied by facial muscle convulsions, lacrimation, salivation, facial flushing, conjunctival congestion and other symptoms, with the aggravation of the disease, the interval is getting shorter and more frequent attacks, so that the patient’s mental tension lifelong unforgettable, causing great pain. In addition to pain, what are the other hazards of trigeminal neuralgia?  The harm of trigeminal neuralgia is as follows: 1. The constant pain of trigeminal neuralgia will make the central nervous system in a state of excitement, sympathetic excitability increases, which can be manifested as increased secretion of catecholamines and enhanced glycogenolysis, and many patients with trigeminal neuralgia are afraid to eat, and the body is in a state of negative nitrogen balance.  2, mental changes Trigeminal neuralgia has a great impact on the mental and psychological state, relatively speaking, it is a recurrent paroxysmal severe pain, patients are often afraid to eat, wash their faces, rinse their mouths and brush their teeth, resulting in malnutrition and stained face of patients. This phenomenon has a tremendous impact on the mental and psychological state of patients, who become anxious, irritable and irritable. Some patients are pessimistic and disappointed, depressed, intolerant of pain, and in a state of inhibition of mental activity, and may even have thoughts of lightness of life. Long-term depression will make the patient’s response to external changes slow.  3, physiological impact The impact of trigeminal neuralgia on physiological movement is self-evident and very significant. Whether the pain is acute or prolonged, it will cause changes in a series of physiological activities such as digestive system, starting organism nerves, circulatory system, respiratory system secretion, etc. The constant painful stimulation of trigeminal neuralgia will cause a series of changes in the physiological activities of the central nervous system, including secretion.  Trigeminal neuralgia has the name of “the first pain in the world”, but many trigeminal neuralgia patients have the habit of delaying seeking medical treatment, some hold the fluke mentality of expecting the disease to heal itself, some feel that trigeminal neuralgia is difficult to treat and simply boil, these mentality becomes a roadblock to prevent the recovery of the disease.  The primary trigeminal neuralgia without treatment cannot heal itself, as the disease progresses, the attacks will become more and more frequent, the pain will last longer and longer, and the patient will only get more and more painful. The possibility of secondary trigeminal neuralgia symptoms relieving and disappearing on their own is very small, unless the disease is cured for the cause, otherwise, treatment is easily delayed without timely examination.
