Trigeminal Neuralgia
Description
Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a disorder that affects the trigeminal nerve, which is responsible for transmitting sensory information from the face to the brain. TN causes sudden, severe, and often excruciating pain in the areas of the face where the branches of the trigeminal nerve are distributed, such as the lips, eyes, nose, scalp, forehead, upper jaw, and lower jaw. Even mild stimulation of the face, such as brushing teeth or applying makeup, can trigger the pain. TN can be caused by a variety of factors, including compression of the nerve by a blood vessel, nerve damage, or a tumour. Treatment options for TN include medication, surgery, and other procedures to reduce nerve sensitivity. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for managing the symptoms of TN and improving quality of life. Massage therapy can be a beneficial treatment option for individuals with TN as it can aid in decreasing stress in the head and neck, which can help reduce the severity of TN symptoms. It can also help reduce fluid congestion, which can contribute to pain and discomfort associated with TN. Additionally, massage therapy can stimulate the distribution of the trigeminal nerve, which may help reduce nerve sensitivity and alleviate pain.
