Trigeminal NeuralgiaTN is characterized by various disturbing symptoms, including any or all of the following: * Pain in the face, jaw or even areas of the scalp, which may feel electrical in nature. * Pain may occur without provocation or may flareup when moving the facial muscles, such as when eating or talking. * Pain may be episodic or chronic and may continue despite active medical care for an extended time frame. Causes of Trigeminal Neuralgia
There are several suspected sources of TN and many doctors do not agree on what exactly might cause symptoms in most patients. This condition is known to be misdiagnosed often and most doctors still do not understand the exact specifics of the pain syndrome. Some of the theorized causes of pain in some patients include:* Dental issues, including impacted teeth or dental nerve pain. * Cranial nerve compression issues (typically 5th cranial nerve) * Link to
migraine
or
tension headaches. Psychosomatic Tic DouloureuxAs a substitute symptom or primary psychologically induced pain syndrome, any type of neuralgia is easily produced by simple oxygen deprivation of the neurological structures in a given area. Patients with long term or recurrent TN typically do not achieve a correct diagnosis based on a structural abnormality, since their pain may be of mindbody origin. This explains why so many of these poor souls never really find lasting relief from their TN pain. Knowledge therapy has proven itself to be both a logical and effective treatment option for many neurological complaints and some lucky patients can achieve a full cure using these easy to apply techniques.Trigeminal Neuralgia AdviceNerve pain of any type is an open invitation to doctors to put you in treatment for an extended period of time. Luckily, TN is not generally resolved surgically, which is a very good thing indeed… If it were, the diagnosis would rise sharply, since there would be even more money to be made… Regardless, symptomatic modalities are still profitable and TN is certainly a condition beginning to hit its stride in the medical industry. If you have tried a world of possible treatments for your agonizing prosopalgia without success, you might want to consider the alternative approach that has no costs and no risks… Best of all is that you can control how and when the therapy is applied and how long you must actively treat the condition before it fully resolves.Trigeminal Neuralgia to Back Pain 6/17/09 Revised 11/17/11 |
