The traditional treatment methods for trigeminal neuralgia include medication, surgery, and radiation therapy. These methods are designed to relieve pain and reduce inflammation in the affected nerve. However, they may not be effective for all patients and can have potential side effects.
Medication is often the first line of treatment for trigeminal neuralgia, including anticonvulsants, muscle relaxants, and painkillers. While these medications can help manage pain, they often lose effectiveness over time and may cause unwanted side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, and nausea.
Surgery may be recommended for patients who do not respond to medication. However, surgery can be invasive and carries risks like infection, bleeding, and nerve damage. Radiation therapy is another option to deliver targeted radiation to the affected nerve to reduce pain. While it can be effective, it may take several weeks or months to see results.
