As the saying goes, “a toothache is not a disease, but a pain that really kills you”, and anyone who has experienced a toothache can relate to the torture of living and dying. But there is a kind of facial pain called “trigeminal neuralgia”, which is several times more powerful than toothache! Li mistakenly treated “trigeminal neuralgia” as toothache, and picked the nerve to death in the dental clinic. Recently, she was in the hospital neurosurgery by Professor Wang to implement the “microvascular decompression”, only to cure this horrible facial pain. In 2015, Li’s left side of her face started to suffer from inexplicable pain, with irregular episodes, like pins and needles, and the wind scraped through it, which was very intense. At first, she thought it was a toothache and went to the dental clinic near her residence to pick the dead tooth nerve, but the pain still did not get any better. Later, Li also tried to relieve the pain through acupuncture, acupuncture for half a month, the effect is still not obvious, until the pain is unbearable to go to the local hospital, the local hospital diagnosed her as trigeminal neuralgia and prescribed the relevant drugs. Then Li has been relying on medication to relieve the pain. ”When the pain is strong, take two pills, and in light cases, bear it yourself, bear it and it will pass.” Li recalled, “When the pain can not eat, drink water will hurt, the upper and lower teeth can not touch, a touch of pain, like pins and needles pain, the wind scraped all feel very painful.” Because of the severe pain, Li’s daily life was seriously affected, the most basic eating and talking were inconvenient because of the pain, and the unspeakable pain made her almost in a desperate situation. Microvascular decompression cures trigeminal neuralgia In November 2018, Li and her family heard that neurosurgery can treat trigeminal neuralgia through minimally invasive surgery, so they came to the hospital for consultation. On December 24, 2018, the “microvascular decompression surgery” was successfully performed for Li. After the surgery, the severe pain that had been tormenting Li for years miraculously disappeared, and she and her family were overjoyed by the treatment effect. ”Every time I see her in pain, I feel very uncomfortable, I can’t eat or drink well, and I’ve lost a lot of weight in the past few years. Now after the microvascular decompression surgery there is no more pain, the spirit has also become better, what to do is much more convenient, will not be disturbed by the pain.” Li’s family said, “I’m especially grateful for saving me from the pain, and we are very satisfied with the result of the surgery, which is much better than we expected. ”Microvascular decompression is the most effective treatment for trigeminal neuralgia, and its surgical technique is quite mature, minimally invasive, safe and highly effective. Most of the patients can be cured after the operation, and the chance of complications is very low, so it is now recognized as the best treatment for trigeminal neuralgia at home and abroad.
