It is said that "toothache is not a disease, it hurts to kill", but in terms of medical pain index classification, toothache is really not "the first pain in the world". Natural childbirth, advanced cancer, migraine, shingles, ......These "pains" are terrifying, but what is clinically known as the "first pain in the world" is trigeminal neuralgia that many people do not understand.
Trigeminal neuralgia is a dead heart.
In fact, this summary is not exaggerated, for patients with trigeminal neuralgia and their families, it is not uncommon to bang their heads against the wall at the onset of the disease, and depression and irritability are even more common. Trigeminal neuralgia is painful in the body, but it is often the patient's psyche that destroys it – the despair triggered by the endless pain is often the last straw that crushes the patient.
Don't seek medical attention blindly for unexplained facial pain.
Ms. Li, 56 years old, suddenly felt a sharp pain in her left gum like a needle prick 4 years ago, and after a sharp pain, the pain stopped abruptly as if it had never happened. Then went to the local health center to prescribe some anti-inflammatory painkillers when toothache**, due to the lack of understanding of the disease, blindly seeking medical treatment for many years of pain still did not improve, the pain caused her to dare not eat, wash her face, talk and even seek death several times, which seriously affected her life, in order to be able to further diagnosis and treatment, before the Spring Festival to find Tangdu Hospital neurosurgery Dr. Wang Jing to improve the examination, the diagnosis is clear, after careful preoperative preparation, diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia, Ms. Li has been undergoing microvascular decompression for a month, The pain on the left side of the face disappears. After 4 years of pain, I finally got rid of it, and my days returned to my former peace.
Why has microvascular decompression become the best method for trigeminal neuralgia in the world?
Everyone has one of the thickest nerves in their face (the 5th cranial nerve), and the trigeminal nerve is formed by the confluence of the ophthalmic branch (the first branch), the maxillary branch (the second branch), and the mandibular branch (the third branch), and the nerves in the face are very sensitive and fragile, and if the trigeminal nerve root formed by the convergence of the three nerves is too "intimate" with the cerebral blood vessels, it is bound to feel severe pain. Microvascular decompression is to find the responsible blood vessel that compresses the trigeminal nerve root under a microscope, and then pad the responsible blood vessel that compresses the trigeminal nerve with a special spacer, thus solving the ** of trigeminal neuralgia.
The microvascular decompression performed by Professor Wang Jing is performed under neuroendoscopy, which has a small surgical incision and less bleeding. Observe the relationship between nerves and blood vessels in all directions; Observe at close proximity, leaving no responsible blood vessels; Advantages in reducing postoperative complications.
Reminder: Trigeminal neuralgia is easily confused with facial neuralgia diseases such as toothache, glaucoma, and migraine, so once patients have facial pain symptoms, they should go to a regular hospital for treatment in time to avoid delaying the condition.
