As a doctor of naturopathy, and patient suffering from Trigeminal Neuralgia Ttypes 1 and 2, join Dr. West on an educational journey to help you better understand your body, your disease, and the wide variety of alternative options which have enabled her to go from bedridden and unable to eat or talk due to the pain to joyful and pain-free!
Download or read book Trigeminal Neuralgia and Other Cranial Neuralgias written by Joanna M. Zakrzewska and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022-04-14 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trigeminal neuralgia and other cranial neuralgias comprise a group of facial pain conditions, characterised by disabling pain attacks that selectively respond to specific treatments. Although not as common migraine, they affect over 1% of the population and must be recognised and adequately treated in clinical practice. The spectrum of cranial neuralgias is wide and as a consequence the conditions are managed by a range of different specialists. Studies show that delayed diagnoses and mismanagement are common and can lead to depression and suicide. 36 recognised experts from nine countries have contributed to OPML Trigeminal Neuralgia and Other Cranial Neuralgias to guide you through the maze of pathophysiology, clinical features, diagnosis-making, and condition-specific treatments. The approach is practical and evidence-based and ready for real-world applications. The value of phenotyping, targeted investigations, and treatment algorithms is emphasised. The editors and contributors subscribe to the view that there needs to be a holistic approach with multidisciplinary teams working together and with patients being at the centre of this process. Psychologists and patent support groups can help to ensure that patients are managed holistically and share the decision-making process. Their involvement in the handbook has helped to emphasis this. There remain considerable challenges, but the field is rapidly evolving and there are increasing number of opportunities opening up to improve our understanding of these conditions and hence their management. The editors and contributors have included case scenarios, algorithms, self-administered tools for training in diagnosis and management, clinical tips and carefully chosen references. Each chapter includes a lay summary and key points and can be read as a stand-alone unit.

Download or read book Trigeminal Neuralgia written by Patrick Marshwell and published by mindplusfood. This book was released on 2022-11-03 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trigeminal neuralgia, also known as tic douloureux, is a condition that affects the trigeminal nerve, which is one of the cranial nerves. This nerve provides sensation to the face and controls many of the muscles in the face. Trigeminal neuralgia is caused by damage to the trigeminal nerve. This can be due to several things, including infection, a tumor, or trauma. Symptoms of trigeminal neuralgia include sudden, sharp pain in the face that may be intermittent or constant. The pain may be on one side or both sides of the face, and it may vary in intensity. Other symptoms can include tingling or numbness in the face, drooping eyelids, and difficulty swallowing. Trigeminal neuralgia is diagnosed based on a person's symptoms and medical history. A physical exam may also be done to look for signs of damage to the trigeminal nerve. Imaging tests such as MRI or CT scan may be done to help determine the cause of the trigeminal neuralgia. There is no one-size-fits-all treatment for trigeminal neuralgia. Treatment options include medications, surgery, and home remedies. Medications can include painkillers and drugs that are used to treat seizures or nerve pain. Surgery may be needed if medications do not work or if there is damage to the trigeminal nerve. Home remedies can include using ice packs or heat packs, avoiding triggers such as loud noises or strong smells, and adjusting your diet. Managing trigeminal neuralgia can be difficult, but it is possible with patience and perseverance. It is important to work with your doctor to find a treatment plan that works for you. In this beginner's guide, we'll discuss the following subtopics in further detail: What is the trigeminal nerve? What are the two types of trigeminal neuralgia? What causes trigeminal neuralgia? What are the symptoms of trigeminal neuralgia? Who is at risk to get trigeminal neuralgia? How is trigeminal neuralgia diagnosed? How is trigeminal neuralgia treated? Alternative treatments for trigeminal neuralgia. Managing trigeminal neuralgia through lifestyle changes. Managing trigeminal neuralgia through diet The 3-step guide to managing trigeminal neuralgia through diet and nutrition Keep reading to know more about trigeminal neuralgia and how to manage this condition through diet.

Trigeminal neuralgia often goes unrecognized or is mistaken for other causes of facial pain, and while the cause often cannot be determined, it can be associated with multiple sclerosis, herpes zoster, and various tumors. With newer medications and advances in surgical techniques, patients with trigeminal neuralgia now have more treatment options than ever before, and it is important that clinicians are aware of these in order to improve their care. Clinical Manual of Trigeminal Neuralgia familiarizes clinicians with the diagnosis of trigeminal neuralgia and describe the range of current treatments available. Key areas covered include diagnostic procedures, medical and surgical management—including gamma knife surgery—and guidelines on non-pharmacologic therapy. Written by a team from one of the leading centers for the study of neurologic head and neck pain, this book is a highly practical reference for the clinician dealing with common and difficult-to-manage problems in this area.

Download or read book Textbook of Trigeminal Neuralgia written by Sujith Ovallath and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a condition that can cause intense facial pain sometimes so severe it can interfere with the normal activities of daily living. Brief, painful episodes may be triggered by chewing, talking, smiling, brushing teeth, shaving, or light pressure on the face. The pain may be sudden, intense, and sporadic (off and on). It also may be more constant but less severe. Usually, TN affects only one side of the face but can rarely be bilateral also. The approximate prevalence of the condition is 3-6 per 100,000 populations with slight female predominance. The condition can be often treated with drugs,but in some cases the pain is so intractable and do not responds to the conventional drugs. In such cases treating physicians need to consider more advanced options. If there is an underlying vascular loop open surgical therapy can be considered, but open surgery carries the associated complications hence other less invasive options are preferred by the patients. This book will provide a comprehensive review about the clinical presentation,etiopathogenesis,drug therapy,surgical options,Botulinum toxin therapy,lesioning procedures, treatment outcome and clinical trial results to choose between the procedure. In short the book will provide an overall picture about this condition to the treating physicians and surgeons, researchers in the field and to patients to choose the best therapy for this extremely painful disorder"--
