Trigeminal neuralgia refers to recurrent short-term paroxysmal pain localized within the distribution area of the trigeminal nerve. It was previously called painful tic because it is accompanied by facial twitching during pain. It is divided into primary trigeminal neuralgia and secondary trigeminal neuralgia. The etiology and pathogenesis of primary trigeminal neuralgia are still unclear, but most people believe that the lesion is located within the trigeminal ganglion and its sensory roots, and it may also be related to vascular malformations. Secondary trigeminal neuralgia is caused by space-occupying lesions within the skull, such as tumors, inflammation, trauma, or lesions in the branches of the trigeminal nerve. Another type is secondary trigeminal neuralgia caused by herpes simplex virus invading the trigeminal nerve. The treatment of primary trigeminal neuralgia mainly involves oral medication, with carbamazepine being the typical drug. The dosage of oral medication is determined based on the severity of pain. If the condition persists for a long time and is severe enough to affect the patient's daily life, intervention treatment can be performed, including radiofrequency, gamma knife, and microvascular decompression of the trigeminal ganglion.

Trigeminal neuralgia manifests as sudden and intense pain, typically in the cheek area of the face. The pain is described as a cutting or burning sensation. The pain is so severe that patients may be afraid to eat, wash their face, or brush their teeth because these activities can trigger pain. As a result, patients' facial hygiene may be poor, and due to constant facial massage, the skin may become rough. The cause of trigeminal neuralgia is that blood vessels compress the trigeminal nerve as it exits the skull. As people age, blood vessels may develop arteriosclerosis, and pulsatile stimulation can lead to trigeminal neuralgia and abnormal discharge of the trigeminal nerve, causing these symptoms. The treatment of trigeminal neuralgia can involve taking carbamazepine, gabapentin, or pregabalin. If the pain is unbearable, surgical treatment can be performed through minimally invasive procedures to locate and separate the responsible blood vessels from the nerve, thereby achieving therapeutic effects.

What causes trigeminal neuralgia? The causes of trigeminal neuralgia are as follows: 1. Primary trigeminal neuralgia: The cause is not yet clear. Current theories include: - Peripheral theories: including the theory of microvascular compression of the trigeminal nerve and demyelination theory of the trigeminal nerve.

- Central theories: mainly the theory of epileptic-like neuralgia. 2. Secondary trigeminal neuralgia: It can be caused by intracranial tumors, demyelinating diseases, empty sella syndrome, vascular malformations, aneurysms, cholesterol granulomas, acoustic neuromas, skull base meningitis, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, etc.

How does trigeminal neuralgia occur? Trigeminal neuralgia is the fifth pair of cranial nerves among the cranial nerves, and it is one of the mixed cranial nerves. Many people often experience trigeminal neuralgia in their daily lives. What's going on? What are the causes of trigeminal neuralgia? Let's understand together.

Actually, there are four main causes of trigeminal neuralgia. First, vascular compression; second, tumor compression; third, infection and degenerative diseases; and there is also a type that is caused by unknown reasons. As we all know, the structure of the brain is very complex, so the causes of many diseases are also complex. If you have a tumor in your skull, it will cause pain, which is called secondary trigeminal neuralgia. With aging, there will be arteriosclerosis, which means the elasticity of blood vessels decreases. Blood vessels exert pressure on the trigeminal nerve, leading to trigeminal neuralgia.

In fact, trigeminal neuralgia is a common neurological disease. It is necessary to take medication such as carbamazepine under the guidance of a doctor. If the effect is not ideal after taking medication, it is necessary to seek medical treatment and undergo surgical treatment. In addition, in daily life, it is important to pay attention to a bland diet, maintain a pleasant mood, and keep the head and face warm while actively cooperating with treatment. Attention should be paid to using warm water when brushing teeth and washing the face, avoiding excessive emotional fluctuations, and engaging in physical exercise and relaxation activities during leisure time, such as listening to music.

How is trigeminal neuralgia caused? Trigeminal neuralgia and toothache are both caused by visceral imbalance and obstruction of meridians, resulting in nerve compression and damage. In addition, the dental nerves are branches and terminals of the trigeminal nerve. Through ear drop therapy, the neuroprotective factors contained in the drops directly act on the trigeminal nerve and dental nerves, relieving nerve compression, nourishing and repairing damaged nerves. This achieves ideal results in treating both types of trigeminal neuralgia and nine types of toothache, as well as treating different diseases simultaneously.

Ziyadent's One Drop Spirit for toothache is a secret formula from the Ming Dynasty. Based on holographic theory, meridian theory, and symmetrical treatment theory, it adopts a unique approach of treating the right side for pain on the left side and administering ear drops. Nine types of pure natural Chinese medicines, including Xixin, Guosui Bu, and Shengma, are carefully prepared and strictly combined to dispel wind and clear heat, nourish yin and tonify the kidneys, regulate meridians, relieve pain, and harmonize the five organs. It also contains pure Chinese medicinal active ingredients: neuroprotective factors. When dropped into the ear and absorbed through the skin of the external ear canal, it targets the trigeminal nerve nucleus and dental nerve fibers through microvessels and nerve terminals, eliminating stasis, relieving pain, nourishing nerves, and effectively eliminating adhesion and compression of microvessels on the trigeminal nerve and dental nerves. It also rapidly repairs damaged nerves, restores normal nerve function, and provides relief for trigeminal neuralgia and toothaches. One drop relieves pain and reduces swelling for 24 hours, promoting recovery over the course of treatment.

Ziyadent's One Drop Spirit for toothache is an extraordinary Chinese medicine treatment, an amazing ear acupuncture technique, and a comprehensive approach that combines six methods. It is an expert in treating trigeminal pain and toothaches! Ear drop therapy: The medication is dropped into the ear and absorbed through the eye, regulating meridians and harmonizing the five organs. This treatment method is novel and unique!

Internal disease treated externally: The unique ear drop administration does not harm the gastrointestinal tract, liver, kidneys, or nerve function. It has no toxic side effects and is safe! Simultaneous treatment of different diseases: It can treat nine types of primary trigeminal pain, various secondary trigeminal pain, nine types of toothaches, and various treatment failures. It can eliminate the root cause!

Intermittent treatment: Treat for 6 days, rest for 1 day. This treatment combines treatment with stimulating self-regulation function, making it the most scientific approach! Treating both symptoms and root causes: Quick pain relief, effective in 1 minute. One drop relieves pain, and one box is enough for toothaches. Trigeminal pain can be treated and cured in 1-4 treatment courses!
