Trigeminal neuralgia find cure in TCM (traditional Chinese medicine) Trigeminal neuralgia (TN, or TGN) is a severe neuropathic chronic pain disorder affecting the trigeminal nerve (also known as the fifth cranial nerve: a three-branched nerve that carries sensations from the face to the brain and controls facial motor functions such as biting and chewing). The classic presentation of TN (type 1) is characterized by episodes of sudden, explosive severe pain along the trigemina...l nerve, with periods of pain-free remission between attacks. The atypical form of TN (type 2) presents with the paroxysmal pain of classic TN, but with the addition of a constant pain that fluctuates from a dull aching to an excruciating roar. Trigeminal neuralgia is considered by medical experts to be one of the most painful conditions known. In the view point of Modern medicine, TN is incurable; its symptoms can be managed with a variety of treatment options, including medication and surgery. The anticonvulsant carbamazepine, and oxcarbazepine, although carbamazepine is considered the first line treatment for TN, the side effect can be difficult to control. Nowadays, TN patient usually under a combination drugs of anti-epileptic, anti-anxiety, anti-depressant, and even opioids before finding the treatment regimen that controls the pain. Surgical treatment of TN will be pursued when medications fail to control symptoms or patient reacts greatly to the side effects. It is estimated that 1 in 15,000 or 20,000 people have TN, although the actual figure may be significantly higher due to misdiagnosis. TN symptoms usually appear in individuals over 50 years old, but also can appear in other age groups too. In Traditional Chinese medicine, trigeminal neuralgia has been treated for thousands of years. Under the guidance of the overall concept and the principles of diagnosis, ancient physicians summarized a lot of effective treatment, providing valuable experience for our treatment of trigeminal neuralgia. In TCM we believe that trigeminal neuralgia is a "headache"; "migraine"; "facial pain"; summarized as "head wind"; "brain wind" in Ancient medical books, it has 2 types: Exterior wind & interior wind-- according to the OVERALL DIAGNOSIS. In TCM pathophysiology theory, this "wind" blocks the blood vessels cause some area of the brain lack of blood flow, if it happens to the trigeminal nerves zone, which generates the Trigeminal Neuralgia. According to the Ancient Chinese Medical books, certain kinds of herbs are formulated and applied to expel this "brain wind"; release the blockage, fluent the bloodstream, when this procedure is complete, the Trigeminal Neuralgia is cured. Isn't it sound simple and trauma-less? If you look into the modern medicine those endless traumatic procedures, TCM is really a blessing, its outstanding low cost and completely cure does end your nightmares and put smile on your face again.
