Trigeminal neuralgia is a chronic pain condition that affects the trigeminal nerve, which runs from the brain to the face. The most common symptom is a sharp, shooting pain that can make even simple tasks, like brushing your teeth or eating, incredibly painful. Class IV laser therapy is a new treatment option that is showing promise in treating trigeminal neuralgia.
The laser works by targeting specific areas of the trigeminal nerve with high-intensity light. This helps to reduce inflammation and pain by stimulating the release of endorphins, which are natural pain-relieving chemicals.
Additionally, the heat from the laser can help to break up any scar tissue that may be compressing the nerve. Class IV laser therapy is a non-invasive, safe, and effective treatment option for patients suffering from trigeminal neuralgia.
