Many people have heard of a disease called trigeminal neuralgia, which is called the first pain in the world, and the pain attacks are so fatal that a considerable number of trigeminal neuralgia patients choose to commit suicide and lose their lives because they cannot bear the severe pain. Trigeminal neuralgia is mainly manifested as paroxysmal severe pain in the distribution area of the trigeminal nerve on one side of the face, and it is like a knife cut, needle stabbing, lightning-like, burning-like pain, with sudden onset and stop. Sometimes the pain can be severe when talking, washing the face, brushing the teeth, or when walking in the breeze. So what causes this trigeminal neuralgia? To talk about how trigeminal neuralgia is caused, we have to talk about the main groups of people who develop trigeminal neuralgia, this disease mainly occurs in middle-aged and elderly people. Due to the aging of blood vessels, coupled with hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes and atherosclerosis, the compliance of blood vessels decreases and the blood vessels become hardened, making it easy to compress the trigeminal nerve root, causing demyelination of the trigeminal nerve and pain. Therefore, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, atherosclerosis, etc. are important triggers. So people should control these underlying lesions well in normal times, otherwise they are likely to induce trigeminal neuralgia. And once you suffer from trigeminal neuralgia, you should pay great attention to it and treat it in time. The current standard method for the radical treatment of trigeminal neuralgia is recognized by the medical community as microvascular decompression. According to the cause of vascular nerve compression in trigeminal neuralgia, microvascular decompression is carried out, and trigeminal neuralgia is completely cured by releasing the compression of the responsible vessels on the trigeminal nerve root and restoring the normal function of the trigeminal nerve. This procedure is technically mature and effective, with immediate results and rare recurrence.
