Although it does not pose a danger to the patient, the intensity of the pain can diminish the patient\u2019s quality of life and generate physical disability.

This is also known as TN or \u201ctic douloureux.\u201d The pain has been described as a sudden electric discharge that can be stabbing or sharp. It appears suddenly and is caused by the superior cerebellar artery located in the root of the trigeminal nerve becoming compressed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Risk factors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to prevent neuralgia of the trigeminal nerve, it is crucial to understand the risk factors related to this condition, especially if the patient suffers from chronic pain or quality of life is negatively affected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to recent studies, the principal risk factors are the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Sex.<\/strong>&nbsp;Trigeminal neuralgia is more frequent in women than in men and is more common after 35 years of age. However, there is a higher incidence in men over 80 years of age.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Age.<\/strong>&nbsp;According to studies, the incidence of neuralgia increases with age, beginning between 50 and 60 years of age. In people between the ages of 60 and 69, the incidence is 17.5% among 100,000. After 80, this number increases to 25.9%.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Genetics. <\/strong>It has been shown that patients who have a family history of TN have a 5% probability of suffering from this condition.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, there are some conditions and habits that have been linked to the appearance of trigeminal neuralgia pain. These include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Multiple Sclerosis.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Aneurysm.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dental infection.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Arterial hypertension.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Brain tumor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lacunar infarcts.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Consumption of alcohol and tobacco.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div name=\"block_77da527a1b27fa08532852c29d59044c\" class=\"accordion-item\"><div class=\"accordion_item_title\"><div class=\"title-icon-open\"><svg width=\"42\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 42 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M2 2L21 21L40 2\" stroke=\"#3D472B\" stroke-width=\"3\"\/><\/svg><\/div><div class=\"title-icon-close\"><svg width=\"42\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 42 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M40 22L21 3L2 22\" stroke=\"#3D472B\" stroke-width=\"3\"\/><\/svg><\/div><h3>How is trigeminal neuralgia diagnosed? <\/h3><\/div><div class=\"accordion_item_content\">\n\n<p>The first step in <strong>diagnosing trigeminal neuralgia<\/strong> is to analyze the patient\u2019s medical history and determine if there is an external factor that is causing the condition such as a frequent habit or activity or an illness. It is also necessary to rule out any other disorders that could be causing the facial pain. These include the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gildentalclinic.com\/en\/temporomandibular-joint-dysfunction\/\">Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD)<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Postherpetic neuralgia (also known as nerve pain after an outbreak of shingles)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Headaches (due to a condition such as migraines or other psychological factors, including stress) &nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Diagnosing trigeminal neuralgia is usually a complicated process. The diagnosis can be influenced by several factors and\/or disorders that provoke similar symptoms.

These include taking medication along with multifocal treatment as well as other complementary approaches.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In general terms, it is advised to follow a balanced diet and receive physical therapy that includes physiotherapy in order to improve and stimulate the facial muscles as well as blood circulation in the trigeminal nerve.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following are treatments that improve trigeminal neuralgia symptoms:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Medication<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Anti-seizure medicine.<\/strong>&nbsp;This medication helps block the activation of nerves. This is a good alternative to reduce pain attacks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Anti-depressants.<\/strong>&nbsp;Anti-depressants, especially the tricyclic type, are an excellent ally in treating pain in patients who frequently suffer from TN.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Analgesics.&nbsp;<\/strong>Common analgesics such as opiod drugs can help patients who suffer from mild pain. However, they are not commonly prescribed for severe cases.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Anesthesia.<\/strong>&nbsp;This type of treatment can block the nerve and mitigate the pain.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Surgery<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Surgical procedures are usually the last option in treating trigeminal neuralgia when medication does not work.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the following symptoms are persistent (sharp pain, cognitive impairment, memory loss, excessive fatigue, bone marrow suppression or allergies), the patient should consult a specialist to determine if surgery is a suitable option for him or her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information about the latest recommended treatments, consult a specialist in trigeminal neuralgia in order to receive assistance and medical attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Schedule an appointment with our specialists in trigeminal neuralgia. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<a class=\"gb-button gb-button-a4150662 gb-button-e528ec68\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gildentalclinic.com\/en\/contact\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-hystmodal=\"#clinicsModal\"><span class=\"gb-icon\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 256 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M246.6 233.4c12.5 12.5 12.5 32.8 0 45.3l-160 160c-12.5 12.5-32.8 12.5-45.3 0s-12.5-32.8 0-45.3L178.7 256 41.4 118.6c-12.5-12.5-12.5-32.8 0-45.3s32.8-12.5 45.3 0l160 160z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"gb-button-text\">Schedule your appointment<\/span><\/a>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div name=\"block_584f848a8fe7bef5fcbbb23f145b6cf1\" class=\"accordion-item\"><div class=\"accordion_item_title\"><div class=\"title-icon-open\"><svg width=\"42\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 42 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M2 2L21 21L40 2\" stroke=\"#3D472B\" stroke-width=\"3\"\/><\/svg><\/div><div class=\"title-icon-close\"><svg width=\"42\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 42 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M40 22L21 3L2 22\" stroke=\"#3D472B\" stroke-width=\"3\"\/><\/svg><\/div><h3>Frequently asked questions regarding trigeminal neuralgia <\/h3><\/div><div class=\"accordion_item_content\">\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What foods should I avoid if I have trigeminal neuralgia?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Cold foods should be avoided. Trigeminal neuralgia can cause sensitivity to cold, whether it be food or metal utensils. For more information, we recommend you consult a specialist in trigeminal neuralgia.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How long does it take to recover from trigeminal neuralgia?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To date, there is not treatment that completely eliminates trigeminal neuralgia. With medical assistance, it is possible to control the symptoms so that the episodes become less painful. In some cases, the symptoms can disappear for months or even years.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which muscles are affected by trigeminal neuralgia?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Neuralgia does not directly affect muscles nor does it produce facial paralysis. In fact, it has not been associated with loss of sensation or with loss of mobility. However, this condition can become worse if muscle pain is present.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does trigeminal neuralgia affect one\u2019s vision?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>No. Nevertheless, because trigeminal neuralgia produces chronic pain, it can raise arterial pressure and cause blurred vision. However, there are no studies that link this condition with vision loss.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Schedule an appointment at one of our clinics with our <strong>Neuralgia experts.<\/strong> They can provide you with the <strong>precise care<\/strong> you need!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Written by:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gildentalclinic.com\/\">Grupo Gil Dental&nbsp;<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Reviewed by:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gildentalclinic.com\/en\/about\/dr-andres-cervantes-chavarria-dds-ms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dr. Andr\u00e9s Cervantes<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Published on: 26 february, 202<\/em>4<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-dd471f74\">\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-4f6156ec\">\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Schedule an appointment at Gil Dental Clinic San Pedro&nbsp;|&nbsp;Escaz\u00fa&nbsp;|&nbsp;Guanacaste Schedule your appointment Schedule an appointment at one of our clinics with our Neuralgia experts.
