What is the trigeminal nerve?

What is the trigeminal nerve? Apparently, it is a nerve with three “forks” crossing it. Also known as the mixed nerve, it is a thick brain nerve that contains both general somatosensory and specific visceral motor fibers. The first “fork” is called the ophthalmic nerve, which is mainly responsible for the sensation of the skin of the orbit, eyeball, upper eyelid, root of the nose and top of the forehead; 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, mouth and 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 auriculotemporal region, and the skin under the lower lip, and, unlike the other two forks, it also governs the movement of the masticatory muscles, allowing people to complete chewing actions. The roots involve the nerve and the pain can be imagined. Patients who have had a trigeminal nerve know that it is no less painful than a woman giving birth, and without exaggeration, perhaps more painful than a woman’s bouts of childbirth. If you do not have surgery to cure it, it will continue to be painful and, to be cruel, accompany you to the end of your life. But don’t be afraid, the good thing is that nowadays the medical level is developed, with trigeminal neuralgia, as long as you find a regular hospital professional doctor and have a surgery, you can reduce the pain from 100 to 0. Then for patients with average family, they will consider the cost of trigeminal nerve surgery, microvascular decompression a minimally invasive surgery for trigeminal neuralgia, it has a high degree of cure and low cost of surgery, which can almost eliminate the patient’s aftercare.
