Trigeminal Neuralgia

Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a nerve pain syndrome which affects the structures of the face, including the nose, eyes, forehead, mouth and jaw. The condition is also sometimes referred to by the names Tic Doloureux and prosopalgia.

Trigeminal Neuralgia

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 causation, enacted by ischemia.

Psychosomatic Tic Douloureux

As 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 is most likely psychosomatic. 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 all sorts of prosopalgia complaints and most patients can achieve a full cure using these easy to apply techniques.

Trigeminal Neuralgia Advice

Nerve 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.
