How to treat trigeminal neuralgia?

After trigeminal neuralgia patients are diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia, the main treatment methods are as follows. The first is drug treatment, which is also one of the most ideal treatment methods in the early stage. Usually carbamazepine and other drugs are the main drugs, but the side effects are great. Patients need to check their liver function regularly, and the treatment rate is 40%-50%, which plays a role in relieving. In the later period, the dosage will increase and the efficacy will decrease. The second is minimally invasive treatment of "radio frequency" and "balloon compression" and other operations. It has the advantages of less trauma and quick recovery, but there are many postoperative complications and great facial nerve injury. The third is MVD surgery, that is, microvascular decompression, which separates the compressed blood vessels from the trigeminal nerve (using special materials) in view of the fact that the trigeminal nerve is compressed by blood vessels. This operation belongs to minimally invasive surgery. It also has the advantages of less trauma, quick recovery and no postoperative complications. Preserve the patient's facial nerve function.
