Trigeminal neuralgia, known as the “number one pain in the world”, is now recognized by the medical community as being caused by the compression of the trigeminal nerve by an adjacent blood vessel. This blood vessel can be an artery or a vein. At the same time, there are a few patients due to herpes zoster virus infection, intracranial and cranial tumors, vascular malformations, arachnoid adhesions, multiple sclerosis, and skull base malformations. So, what other factors in our daily life are related to trigeminal neuralgia? How do we try to avoid it? 1. Control blood pressure. Blood vessels are like water pipes, the higher the water pressure is, the harder the walls of the pipes are, and if they form an arc, the more tension they generate. In this case, if the blood vessel is close to the trigeminal nerve, it is very easy to cause compression damage to the nerve and trigger trigeminal neuralgia. Therefore, for patients with trigeminal neuralgia who have hypertension, they must pay attention to controlling their blood pressure during the treatment process. 2, avoid mental stimulation. The more afraid of headache the more painful the head, research has found that: under the same pain stimulation, emotional sedated people than emotional nervous people to the pain of the feeling is smaller, pain response light. At the same time, climate change can also lead to trigeminal neuralgia, or being blown by the wind, or the first heat and cold, can make the pain intensify. 3. Reduce touching the trigger point. About half of the trigeminal neuralgia patients have one or more particularly sensitive “trigger points” on the face, which can be triggered by the slightest inattention, and radiates to the whole body. The location and size of people’s “trigger points” vary, even as small as a point or a whisker, mostly in the lips, nose, cheeks, corners of the mouth, tongue and eyes. 4, do not eat irritating food. Too cold and too hot, or irritating food can also trigger the cause of trigeminal neuralgia, such as the nicotine of cigarettes will cause vasoconstriction, drink strong tea to enhance the excitability of nerves triggered by small artery spasm, dry cheese, pickled fish and pickles contain more tyrosine, ham contains nitrite, etc., these foods can cause cerebral vasodilatation, stimulating nerves lead to pain attacks. In addition, seafood, eggs, milk, chocolate, beer, coffee, oranges and tomatoes can also lead to the dysfunction of cranial vasodilation and contraction. 5. Pay attention to normal nutritional intake. Many patients with trigeminal neuralgia, because the trigger point is at the corner of the mouth, usually do not dare to talk, dare not eat, dare not drink water, the body lacks the necessary nutrients and triggers pain. This, coupled with irritability, is likely to also aggravate trigeminal neuralgia. Nerves are the tissue that burns and consumes sugar. A lack of vitamin B1 will cause lactic acid buildup to invade the brain, poisoning the central nervous system and weakening the ability of brain tissue to consume oxygen to the point of causing temporary spasms.
