How to treat trigeminal neuralgia? The treatment of trigeminal neuralgia needs to be based on the onset of symptoms, not just use drug treatment, trigeminal neuralgia is prone to recurrent symptoms, so, early treatment and early recovery. What are the common ways of clinical treatment of trigeminal neuralgia: 1, drug treatment of trigeminal neuralgia Drug treatment of trigeminal neuralgia is mainly the application of carbamazepine for treatment, when the patient’s pain stops can be considered to gradually reduce the amount of drugs. If trigeminal neuralgia patients have adverse reactions such as dizziness, nausea, drowsiness, dry mouth, indigestion, etc., rash, ataxia, impaired liver function, angina pectoris, aplastic anemia, coma, and psychiatric symptoms, the drug should be discontinued immediately for observation. If carbamazepine is ineffective, consider switching to phenytoin sodium. 2, closed treatment trigeminal neuralgia trigeminal neuralgia patients who are still ineffective after taking drugs can try to line anhydrous ethanol or glycerol closed trigeminal nerve branches or semilunar ganglion, destruction of sensory nerve cells, can achieve effective pain relief, as a method of treatment of trigeminal neuralgia good effect. The adverse reaction is the loss of facial sensation in the injection area. 3.Radiofrequency electrocoagulation therapy for trigeminal neuralgia Radiofrequency electrocoagulation therapy for trigeminal neuralgia mainly refers to X-ray surveillance or CT-guided stabbing of radiofrequency needles into the trigeminal ganglion percutaneously, and heating of the radiofrequency generator to make the needle temperature reach 65~75℃ and maintaining it for 1 minute. Selective destruction of the unmyelinated Aδ and C fibers after the semilunar ganglion (conduction of pain and warmth) and preservation of the myelinated Aα and β thick fibers (conduction of touch) are more suitable for patients with trigeminal neuralgia who are old and frail and have systemic diseases and cannot tolerate surgery. 4.Surgical treatment of trigeminal neuralgia Surgical treatment of trigeminal neuralgia can choose trigeminal nerve sensory root partial excision, the pain relief effect is exact. Trigeminal neuralgia can be treated by trigeminal nerve microvascular decompression, which does not produce sensory and motor disorders at the same time, and is widely used at present. After the above introduction of the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia, trigeminal neuralgia will affect people’s health, we must actively and correctly take measures to treat trigeminal neuralgia.
