Trigeminal neuralgia can only be relieved by medication alone, and generally cannot be eradicated. Trigeminal neuralgia may be associated with abnormal cellular discharge, arterial compression, meningeal thickening, meningitis and other factors, patients can take phenytoin sodium, carbamazepine, pregabalin and other medications for treatment, medication is ineffective need for surgical treatment.
1. Drugs: Phenytoin sodium can effectively inhibit the cerebral cortex motor area, for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia caused by abnormal discharge of trigeminal ganglion cells has an important role. Carbamazepine can inhibit the pathologic polyneural reflexes of the trigeminal nerve, thus relieving trigeminal neuralgia. Pregabalin can affect the release of central neurotransmitters and relieve trigeminal neuralgia.
2. Surgical treatment: those who are ineffective in using medication can be treated by microvascular decompression surgery, semilunar ganglion trigeminal nerve sensory rhizotomy and other ways.
It is recommended that patients should consult the doctor as soon as possible, take medication according to the doctor’s instructions, and choose the appropriate treatment plan under the doctor’s guidance.
