Treatment of trigeminal neuralgia

Many people know the famous expression of Coco Chanel: “At 20, you have the face that nature gave you; at 30 you have the face that life has fashioned for you; and at 50 you have the face you deserve.”

The face is what we most want to keep. But already at the age of over 40, many people develop a serious neurological disease, accompanied by severe pain - trigeminal neuralgia.

The causes of damage to the trigeminal nerve can be:
- mechanical damage that occurs due to facial injuries, falls, concussions,
or caused by vascular problems or neoplasms;
- inflammatory processes caused by various diseases or hypothermia;
- malocclusion;
- age-related changes.

Symptoms of the disease are severe pain in the region of the upper or lower jaw, which occurs when a person smiles, talks or brushes his teeth. The nature of the pain can be typical (at first it increases, but decreases over time; similar to backache or electric shocks) or atypical (it persists almost constantly, covering the entire face).

If alarming symptoms are ignored, this can lead to complications such as:
- hearing impairment;
- paresis of facial expressions;
- nervous tic;
- Pathologies associated with the work of the brain.

Experiencing certain symptoms of the disease, you should immediately seek help from a qualified neurologist. In the Marusich Health and Rehabilitation Center, an experienced neurologist Valery Oseledchik and a neurosurgeon Dmitry Orlov will conduct diagnostics to confirm the neurological nature of the disease, prescribe conservative medical therapy to remove the pain and the causes that caused it.

You deserve a healthy and beautiful face!
