Book Synopsis
Trigeminal neuralgia, also known as tic douloureux, is a condition that affects the trigeminal nerve, which is one of the cranial nerves.This nerve provides sensation to the face and controls many of the muscles in the face. Trigeminal neuralgia is caused by damage to the trigeminal nerve. This can be due to several things, including infection, a tumor, or trauma.
Symptoms of trigeminal neuralgia include sudden, sharp pain in the face that may be intermittent or constant. The pain may be on one side or both sides of the face, and it may vary in intensity. Other symptoms can include tingling or numbness in the face, drooping eyelids, and difficulty swallowing.
Trigeminal neuralgia is diagnosed based on a person's symptoms and medical history. A physical exam may also be done to look for signs of damage to the trigeminal nerve. Imaging tests such as MRI or CT scan may be done to help determine the cause of the trigeminal neuralgia.
There is no one-size-fits-all treatment for trigeminal neuralgia. Treatment options include medications, surgery, and home remedies. Medications can include painkillers and drugs that are used to treat seizures or nerve pain. Surgery may be needed if medications do not work or if there is damage to the trigeminal nerve. Home remedies can include using ice packs or heat packs, avoiding triggers such as loud noises or strong smells, and adjusting your diet.
Managing trigeminal neuralgia can be difficult, but it is possible with patience and perseverance. It is important to work with your doctor to find a treatment plan that works for you.
