Trigeminal neuralgia can be debilitating and make it difficult to carry out everyday activities. However, there are some things you can do at home to manage your pain and improve your quality of life.
There are two main types of trigeminal neuralgia: classic and atypical. Classic trigeminal neuralgia is the most common type and it causes episodes of severe pain that last for a few seconds to a couple minutes. Atypical trigeminal neuralgia is less common and it causes longer episodes of moderate to severe pain.
There are several different treatment options for trigeminal neuralgia, but not all treatments work for everyone. Some people find relief with medication, while others may need surgery. If you’re experiencing trigeminal neuralgia, talk to your doctor about the best treatment option for you.
In addition to medical treatment, there are a few things you can do at home to help relieve your pain. Cold compresses can help to numb the pain and reduce inflammation. Massage can also help to relax the muscles around the affected area and relieve pain. You can also try gentle stretching exercises to release tension in the muscles around your face.
If you’re dealing with trigeminal neuralgia, there are ways to manage your pain and improve your quality of life. Talk to your doctor about the best treatment option for you and try some at-home remedies to find relief from your pain.
