Trigeminal neuralgia (TN, or TGN), also known
as prosopalgia, the suicide disease, or Fothergill's
disease is a neuropathic disorder characterized by
episodes of intense pain in the face, originating
from the trigeminal nerve. The clinical association
between TN and hemi facial spasm is the so
called tic douloureux. It has been described as among
the most painful conditions known to mankind.
About Trigeminal nerve:
The trigeminal nerve is a
paired cranial nerve that has
three major branches:
the ophthalmic nerve (V1),
the maxillary nerve (V2), and
the mandibular nerve (V3).
One, two, or all three
branches of the nerve may be affected.
V1 provides sensation to the forehead,
upper eyelids and eyes.
V2 provides sensation to the lower eyelids,
cheeks, nostrils, upper lip and gums.
V3 provides sensation to the lower lip and
gums and lower jaw. It also controls some
muscles of chewing.
Pathology:
When a patient's Trigeminal nerve was studied
under electron microscope during an acute phase
of TN, it was revealed that the abnormality existed
at the level of the inner nerve fibers (called axons)
which carry nerve sensation, as well as the outer
lining covering the nerve fibers (called myelin
sheath). Due to the damage to such delicate parts,
the nerve fibre behaves like a live electrical wire
with open ends, leading to pain similar to
electric shock, triggered by touch or jerk.
Sign and Symptoms:
Depending on which part of the nerve is affected
(V1, V2 or V3) the symptoms will have the
respective distribution.
The face pain is
usually one sided.
The pain is
usually limited to
one division of the trigeminal nerve (V1, V2
or V3).
Pain is severe, excruciating, shooting,
stabbing or lightening in nature, often
driving the patient to
suicidal thoughts.
The pain is often
described by the
patient as if a part of the
face is being drilled with a machine
or as if an electric wire is touching
inside of the face or as if the face or eye is
getting nailed.
The pain may last few seconds to minutes
or even longer.
Patient is usually pain-free in between the
attacks of TN.
Pain can be triggered by eating, drinking,
touching the face, talking, shaving,
brushing, blowing, kissing, applying make-
up, etc.
Causes:
The exact cause of Trigeminal Neuralgia is not
clearly understood but there are certain factors
that can trigger the onset of Trigeminal
Neuralgia:
Genetic due an inborn pattern of blood vessel
formation
A blood vessel pressing on the trigeminal
nerve
Nerve impairment following a trauma
Tongue piercing
Trigeminal Neuralgia
Post viral infections like herpes
Post bacterial infections like leptospirosis,
syphilis, etc.
Disorders like multiple sclerosis that damage
the myelin sheath (nerve covering which serves
as an insulator)
Stroke impacting lower part of the brain.
Compression of the nerve by a tumor or cyst
Enduring stress
Habitual intoxication from alcohol, lead and
other drugs
Brushing teeth, kissing, eating, drinking,
smiling, crying, talking, putting makeup,
shaving, washing the face, slight breeze, dental
work can stimulate the pain
Diagnosis:
If the doctor believes the symptoms indicate TN
the patient’s face will be examined more carefully
to determine exactly which parts are affected. The
doctor will also attempt to eliminate other
condition which sometimes have similar symptoms
such as tooth decay, a tumor, or sinusitis.
MRI – magnetic resonance imaging scan – it can
help to rule out other problem. It is very difficult
to see the blood vessel nect to the nerve root,
even on high quality MRI.
Conventional treatment:
This commonly includes prescription of drugs
like Carbamazepine, gabapentin, phenytoin as well
as some other anti- epileptic drugs. Surgical
options for TN include peripheral nerve blocks,
Gasserian ganglion ablative procedures,
microvascular decompression, radiosurgery
(Gamma Knife), cryosurgery, etc.
Homeopathic Approach to Trigeminal
Neuralgia:
Homeopathy is the primary choice of therapy for
trigeminal neuralgia.
Homeopathic treatment has
proved effective and has
shown an overwhelming
response in the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia.
Homeopathy views trigeminal neuralgia as a
constitutional disease, and every patient is
evaluated as an individual case and treated at a
deeper level. Homeopathic medicines help
minimize the frequency and severity of trigeminal
neuralgia attacks, eventually leading to a
remission. Homeopathic medicines are absolutely
safe, non-toxic and do not encumber with other
medicines.
Homeopathic treatment being focused on the
concept of "like cures like" and a profound
emphasis on the principles of holistic medicine
(treat the whole person), its remedies motivate the
body's own healing power and defense system to
correct itself naturally. Due to the individualized
approach of homeopathy a remedy which matches
your constitution will stimulate your vital force to
restore balance and health. The appropriate
homeopathic treatment for trigeminal neuralgia
depends on the individual's constitutional type. A
constitutional type is defined as a person's
physical, emotional, and psychological makeup.
Some of the commonly used homoeopathic
medicines are:- Spigelia, Staphysagria, Natrum
muriaticum, Kali carbonicum, Silica, Lycopodium
clavatum, Sulphur, Carcinosinum, Tarantula
Hispania, Sepia, etc.
Role of Homeopathy:
· Homeopathy relieves the intensity, frequency and
duration of attacks
· Long duration of TN-free period (over 3-6
months) could be achieved in most patients
during the course of the treatment
· Homeopathy controls the underlying process of
nerve damage
· Homeopathy treatment is very helpful in resistant
cases of trigeminal neuralgia even.
· It reduces the neuralgic pain most effectively and
for a long term period. There will be no need for
taking any pain medicines further
· The patient can take homeopathy with their usual
medicines including pain medicines. But in course
of time the pain medicines will not be necessary
to take.
· The duration of homeopathy treatment depends
upon the chronic state of the disease and intensity
of pain. If the TN is more chronic in nature then it
will take time to give satisfactory result. In that
case both traditional and homeopathy medicines
can take together. When the pain gradually comes
under the control with homeopathy treatment the
other medicines dose should be reduced or
stopped looking at the situation.
· If there is nerve compression then the duration
of homeopathy treatment is longer and the cure
rate is also weaker than other.
Self Care Measures :
Avoid mental and physical stress.
Avoid exposure to a draft of wind.
Avoid alcohol, caffeine and sugar.
Avoid eating hard foods.
Avoid sudden jerky movements of the neck.
Identify your pain triggers and avoid them.
Avoid massaging violently.
Maintain excellent oral hygiene to avoid dental
caries.
