What is trigeminal neuralgia?

  Why is it that when people hear the word trigeminal neuralgia, they are shocked? The reason is that it is so painful that it can make your face deformed, and this pain is simply invincible.  What exactly is trigeminal neuralgia?  As the name suggests, “trigeminal nerve” means that this nerve has three “forks”.
The second fork is called the maxillary nerve, which is mainly responsible for the sensation of the teeth, gums, skin between the eyes and upper lip, and the mucous membrane of the mouth and nasal cavity of the upper jaw. The third “fork” is called the mandibular nerve, which is mainly responsible for the sensation of the teeth of the lower jaw, the tongue, the temporal area of the ear, and the skin beneath the lower lip, and, unlike the other two forks, it also governs the movement of the masticatory muscles, allowing people to complete chewing actions.  What should I do to prevent trigeminal neuralgia normally?  Do not wash your face with too hot or too cold water to avoid stimulating the facial nerve, reduce or avoid chewing food with the affected tooth, and secondly, do not eat too hard food.  If you are unfortunate enough to suffer from trigeminal neuralgia, don’t be too anxious, there are always ways to cure it. Although there are various methods to treat trigeminal neuralgia, microtubular decompression is the most effective method.  What is microtubular decompression?  The cause of trigeminal neuralgia is proven to be a condition caused by abnormal blood vessels compressing the nerve, and the surgeon surgically separates the vessels so that the pain disappears forever. The procedure is less invasive and quicker to recover, making it a good treatment option for now.
