At present, no treatment method can guarantee the cure of trigeminal neuralgia, and even the most effective microvascular decompression can only achieve 90-95%, and there is a possibility of recurrence. This is because with the current science and technology, the pathogenesis of trigeminal neuralgia is not yet completely clear, and the theoretical basis for the survival of microvascular decompression – neurovascular compression theory – can only explain 95% of patients, which is why the efficiency of this surgery is only 90-95%. So, what if we fail to cure trigeminal neuralgia and the results are not satisfactory after we have done treatments such as microvascular decompression, Gamma Knife or radiofrequency temperature-controlled thermocoagulation? First of all, do not be overly nervous and anxious. Because the occurrence of trigeminal neuralgia is generally related to mental stimulation, people who are emotionally tense are more likely to trigger the disease. Patients with trigeminal neuralgia should pay attention to rest, try not to work overtime and stay up late, listen to some soft music after labor, let their moods calm down as soon as possible, and ensure sufficient sleep. Patients should also not blame or be angry with the doctor who treats you, he may be even more anxious than you. A professional trigeminal neuralgia doctor will usually first look for the reason when some kind of treatment is not effective, is it an improper indication for treatment? Or is it a problem with the surgical approach. Then, subsequent alternative programs will follow. Generally speaking, after comprehensive treatment by an experienced professional trigeminal neuralgia doctor, most patients are able to relieve their pain symptoms. In addition, the treatment plan, if there is still pain after some kind of surgical treatment, the doctor’s first recommendation may be medication. Properly understand the role and side effects of medication, do not reject medication, and some patients can slowly reduce the medication after treatment until they stop taking it. Then, if the drugs are not effective or can not be used in the case of drug treatment, you can also choose to apparent microvascular decompression, Gamma knife or radiofrequency temperature-controlled thermal coagulation rotational treatment, many patients through a combination of different methods of treatment, but also significant results. I know that trigeminal neuralgia brings a lot of pain to patients and friends, but even so, patients and friends should have the confidence to overcome the disease and pay practical actions to make a quick recovery with actions. Finally, I would like to say one more thing to trigeminal neuralgia patients: trigeminal neuralgia can be treated, and if a certain method does not work well, doctors have other ways, it is important to be patient and have confidence in yourself and your doctor.
