Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 9
Abstract
Trigeminal neuralgia is the most painful condition ever known to medical world. It is also called as a 'suicidal disease', as large proportion of subjects commit suicide to get rid of this condition. This is a condition in which there is sudden, severe, unilateral, paroxysmal, excruciating pain initiated by touching a trigger zone. Almost 50-75% patients respond to Carbamazepine & Phenytoin, but for a few, surgical intervention to decompress the Trigeminal nerve may be indicated. Most patients find partial relief with medical therapies or surgical procedures, although they become less responsive over a period of time & relapses are very common. Thus Modern medicine has limited options to treat this dreadful entity so called as suicidal disease. Here is a case study presented of a successful Ayurvedic management of a case of Trigeminal neuralgia. This case study may give a ray of hope to thousands of sufferers of Trigeminal neuralgia with the assurance that such a dreaded condition could be effectively managed by Ayurveda without surgical intervention.
