What else can you do for trigeminal neuralgia besides suffering it? Trigeminal neuralgia is the most common neurological disease of the brain, manifested by recurrent episodes of severe pain within the trigeminal nerve area of one side of the face, mostly occurring in middle-aged and elderly people. Trigeminal neuralgia is the most common neurological disorder of the brain. It is called “the world’s greatest pain”. You can imagine the pain caused by trigeminal neuralgia, so can trigeminal neuralgia only be carried over by itself? How to treat trigeminal neuralgia Trigeminal neuralgia can be treated with drugs in the early stage. However, the efficacy of drugs will be reduced with the prolongation of the disease, and the pain caused by the disease will not be relieved more and more. If the disease is still uncontrollable, patients should undergo surgery. The surgical treatment of trigeminal neuralgia, also called “microvascular decompression”, is the most effective surgical treatment in clinical practice. Most patients experience immediate pain relief after surgery and do not have to worry about long recovery times. The principle of surgical treatment of trigeminal neuralgia is to separate the compressed nerve vessels under the operation of a microscope. This will release the compression of the nerve root and restore the normal function of the nerve. The pain disappears immediately after surgery in the majority of patients. Microvascular decompression is a known treatment for trigeminal neuralgia with complete preservation of nerve function, without affecting the quality of life. It is the best treatment for the relief of trigeminal neuralgia. The procedure is performed by taking a surgical incision in the hairline behind the ear under general anesthesia to release the compression of the blood vessels on the nerve root, restore the normal function of the trigeminal nerve, and make the pain disappear. The procedure has the advantages of short time, less bleeding, fewer complications, less pain, and quicker results, and the whole procedure is performed under a microscope. The surgery has gradually matured and is widely used in the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia and other diseases. The clinical results are good, the surgery has a high cure rate and quick recovery, and is well received by patients. The probability of recurrence after surgery Those who are familiar with trigeminal neuralgia know that trigeminal neuralgia is a disease with recurrent attacks, so will trigeminal neuralgia recur after surgery? However, the recurrence rate is not high, and only a very small number of people have recurrence. The overall efficiency of microvascular decompression for trigeminal neuralgia is about 95%, and in a small number of patients (5%) the pain recurs after surgery, and reoperation is equally effective. It is the safest and most effective method for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia recognized internationally.
