Trigeminal Neuralgia
Trigeminal Neuralgia Treatment at TMJ Sleep Therapy Centre Johannesburg
Trigeminal Neuralgia (TN) is often described as one of the most painful conditions known to medicine. This chronic pain disorder affects the trigeminal nerve, which is responsible for transmitting sensations from your face to your brain. At TMJ Sleep Therapy Centre in Johannesburg, we are dedicated to providing effective, compassionate care for those suffering from this debilitating condition.
What is Trigeminal Neuralgia?
Trigeminal Neuralgia (TN) is a chronic pain condition that affects the trigeminal nerve, which carries sensation from the face to the brain. It is characterized by sudden, severe facial pain that can be triggered by simple daily activities such as chewing, speaking, or even touching the face.
Causes of Trigeminal Neuralgia
Trigeminal Neuralgia is often caused by pressure on the trigeminal nerve, usually due to a blood vessel pressing against it. Other potential causes include multiple sclerosis, nerve damage, or, in rare cases, a tumor. The condition can also occur without any identifiable cause.
Symptoms of Trigeminal Neuralgia
Common symptoms include:
- Episodes of intense facial pain that come and go.
- Pain that lasts from a few seconds to several minutes.
- Pain triggered by minor stimulation of the face, such as eating or touching the skin.
- Increasing frequency and intensity of attacks over time if left untreated.
