It is often said that a toothache is not a disease, but a pain that really kills. But this may not be a toothache, but the trigeminal neuralgia, which is known as the “world’s first pain”. ”There is a patient who has been suffering from trigeminal neuralgia for five or six years, and every time he has an attack, it hurts so much that he dares not wash his face, brush his teeth, or even eat. He Lan said. Trigeminal neuralgia is not the kind of disease that you get used to when you have a painful attack, but there are many kinds of severe pains such as lightning-like, cutting, burning, etc., which have a great impact on patients’ normal eating, drinking and sleeping, so it is necessary to go to the hospital for treatment. What to do when pain attacks? When the pain is urgent, press four points. “When trigeminal neuralgia attacks, you can use the appropriate western medicine to relieve the pain, which works well at first, but the resistance to the medicine is also obvious. I have a patient, long-term medication to deal with this disease, to the end of eating 5-6 tablets are not working, after the Chinese medicine acupuncture, can be very good control of the disease.” He Lan introduces. The main facial meridians associated with trigeminal neuralgia are the Foot Yang Ming Stomach Meridian and the Foot Sun Bladder Meridian, and treatment is usually achieved by acupuncture points on these two meridians. If the pain attack is very urgent, try massaging the four acupuncture points: Sibai, Zanzhu, Shimonoseki, and Jie Chengjiao to relieve the pain before going to a regular hospital. ”In addition, it is still hot, whether you use air conditioners or fans, be careful not to blow on your face, so as not to stimulate the trigeminal nerve, a ‘powder keg’.” He Lan stressed. How to find the right pain relief points: 1, four white points: two eyes flat in front of the eyes, slightly depressed below the orbit. 2, Zanzhu point: in the depression of the eyebrows, at the upper orbital notch. 3.Shimoguan point: in front of the ear, in the depression formed by the zygomatic arch and the mandibular notch, which protrudes with the opening of the mouth. 4, clip Chengjiao point: below the corner of the mouth, the corner of the mouth and the jaw line of the midpoint. Expert tip: trigeminal neuralgia can be treated, but it is difficult to cure, which requires patients to pay more attention to ensure a warm and two soft. Water should be warm: pay attention to the head and face to keep warm, avoid local freezing and moisture, wash face water too cold or too hot is not okay. Food and gentle movements: it is advisable to choose soft, easy to chew food to avoid chewing induced pain; gargling, talking, brushing teeth, washing the face should be gentle movements.
