Trigeminal neuralgia is a common brain neurological disease, the pain site of the face, usually one side of the face within the distribution of the trigeminal nerve area recurrent paroxysmal severe pain, pain episodes like lightning-like, knife-like, burning-like, etc., there are trigger points, can be triggered by washing the face, brushing teeth, talking, eating, touch, persistent attacks on the physical and mental health of patients and work life. What should I pay attention to in terms of diet for trigeminal neuralgia patients? The main thing is to nourish the nerves and just don’t stimulate them, all this is done to reduce or avoid pain attacks. Nerve tissue contains glycolipids, and carbohydrates are an indispensable component of glycoproteins, mucins and glycolipids. Sugar is needed to maintain normal nerve function. Therefore, a diet for trigeminal neuralgia needs to be high in carbohydrates to supply energy and protect nerve function. Fats are an important component of the body’s tissue cells. In particular, phospholipids and sterols, etc. The brain and peripheral nerve tissues contain sphingolipids, which are important for animal growth and development and also increase the immune capacity of the brain. Fat can be more vegetable fat to avoid elevated cholesterol. Prohibit stimulating foods, such as onions, raw onions, garlic, fresh persimmon peppers, leeks, garlic yellow, etc. Forbid the use of stimulating condiments, such as dried chili, five spice powder, mustard, curry powder, etc. Prohibit the consumption of various kinds of alcohol. The temperature of the meal should be appropriate, not too cold or too hot, in order to avoid chemical and physical stimulation, causing intense melting. If the sensory fibers are stimulated, it is easy to cause facial nerve hypesthesia and trigeminal nerve pain. And can stimulate the animal branch nerve, aggravate the masticatory muscle atrophy. Vitamin B1 and vitamin C are important to protect against cranial nerve damage. Vitamin B1 is the main wan of decarboxylation coenzyme, and occupies an important position in the metabolism of carbohydrates. Lack of vitamin B1 can cause neuritis because nerves are the tissues that burn and consume sugar. If vitamin B1 is lacking, it can cause lactic acid to accumulate and 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. So proper supplementation of vitamin B1 and vitamin C. How to choose the right treatment for trigeminal neuralgia – identify the cause of trigeminal neuralgia Trigeminal neuralgia can be treated by first finding the cause. Primary trigeminal neuralgia is caused by the pulsatile compression of the trigeminal nerve root into the pontine brain by intracranial blood vessels, called vascular origin factors. For the treatment of this kind, microvascular decompression is used clinically, and the principle is that the blood vessels and nerves stick together, and then they are separated. Microvascular decompression is performed by making a 4cm incision behind the affected ear, observing and finding the responsible blood vessel and nerve through imaging data, computer positioning, and microscopic detection, carefully separating the two, and placing a special material spacer between them, which will not fall off and will not be absorbed to prevent the blood vessel from popping back to compress the nerve, so that the pain disappears. There is another type of trigeminal neuralgia with a clear cause, called secondary trigeminal neuralgia, which is commonly caused by the sequelae of facial palsy, occupational compression by brain tumor, etc. The specific cause can be found through imaging examinations such as trigeminal nerve thin layer scan and brain MRI. Finally, patients with trigeminal neuralgia should live a regular life, avoid strain, take more rest, be calm and less angry and excited. In case of aggravation of the disease, avoid the disorderly treatment of the disease, which will cause irreversible consequences and increase the difficulty of treatment.
