Trigeminal
neuralgia is a severe facial pain that is often confined to one side
of the face. The exact cause of the trigeminal neuralgia is not
known, but it is thought to originate from irritation or damage to
trigeminal nerve. The pain starts suddenly and lasts for varying
periods of time from minutes to hours. The trigeminal neuralgic pain
is usually sharp, stabbing, tearing, cutting and burning.
The
attacks are initiated by simple stimuli, such as touching facial
skin, chewing, face washing, brushing the teeth or even speaking. The
facial areas most commonly affected are the upper and/or lower jaw,
nose, cheeks, chin, forehead and scalp. The pain is intense and can
be difficult to control. There is no cure for trigeminal neuralgia.
The pain killers are not effective and therefore, other medications,
such as anticonvulsants, opioids or antidepressants are used. For
many sufferers, only radical surgical approaches seem to work
successfully.
Laser
phototherapy offers effective and safe natural treatment option in
the management of trigeminal neuralgia. Biostimulating laser light
shows its regenerating effects by a noticeable and lasting pain
reduction. The soothing laser light relaxes the tissues, making them
less susceptible to intense pain. Laser phototherapy is a truly
unique therapeutic modality that reflects innovative therapeutic
orientation of modern medical practice.
