Facial trigeminal neuralgia can be improved through general treatment, medication and surgery.
1. General treatment: Facial trigeminal neuralgia is highly sensitive to all kinds of stimuli, especially to cold stimuli. Patients should be instructed to wash with lukewarm water and pay attention to warm clothing in winter to avoid cold stimuli that may cause pain attacks.
2. Medication: Carbamazepine can be taken at the onset to relieve pain.
3. Surgical treatment: Microvascular decompression refers to the removal of blood vessels compressing the trigeminal nerve under the operating microscope, so as to relieve the pressure of blood vessels on the trigeminal nerve, thus relieving the clinical symptoms. This procedure is performed for those who have poor results from medication or who cannot tolerate medication.
Patients with facial trigeminal neuralgia are advised to seek timely medical attention and systematic treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
