Patients who are familiar with trigeminal neuralgia know that trigeminal neuralgia is a very stubborn disease that cannot be cured by medication, and the attacks are even more unbearable, and it is called the “world’s first pain”. Therefore, some patients have asked whether this disease, which can cause so much pain, can be hereditary. If you have a disease that is so difficult to treat, how can parents bear to see their children suffering from this disease as well? Expert answer: With the continuous development of medical technology, this kind of worry can be put aside. First of all, trigeminal neuralgia is not a hereditary disease, so patients do not need to worry that their relatives will inherit this disease. Secondly, the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia has long relied on more than just conservative medication. Microvascular decompression is the latest treatment for trigeminal neuralgia, and it is the only surgical procedure that completely treats trigeminal neuralgia from the foci. This is currently the most internationally respected treatment modality. The surgery is performed by magnifying and reoperating the intracranial neurovascular through a high-powered microscope, aiming to remove the compressed artery or from the nerve, with the advantage that the local vascular compression can be released while preserving the intact sensory transmission of the trigeminal nerve and no loss of facial sensation. It can be said that it is a one-time operation with lifelong benefits. Advantages: While relieving local vascular compression and eliminating symptoms, the normal sensory and motor conduction functions of the facial trigeminal nerve are preserved. It has the advantages of obvious effect, minimally invasive, high safety and very low recurrence rate. It is currently the safest and most effective method for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia internationally. Applicable population: Except for patients who cannot tolerate surgery, all patients with trigeminal neuralgia are suitable for microvascular decompression.
