Especially for the elderly, the probability of suffering from trigeminal neuralgia is relatively high;
Trigeminal neuralgia is neuropathic pain, and its etiology can be divided into primary and secondary.
At present, the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia is divided into drug treatment, surgical treatment and minimally invasive treatment. Among them, carbamazepine is the main drug treatment, but it can only temporarily relieve pain;
In addition, the duration of trigeminal neuralgia attack is very short, generally ranging from tens of seconds to several minutes; Pain occurs intermittently, and patients with trigeminal neuralgia are no different from normal people during the intermittent period, and trigeminal neuralgia is difficult to distinguish;
The treatment of trigeminal neuralgia in the elderly needs to be cautious, especially in elderly patients with chronic cardiovascular diseases. Before treatment, you must tell your doctor about your health and do all the work before treatment, which is more conducive to the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia.
