A 71-Year-Old Patient of Trigeminal Neuralgia Found Incredible Relief From Pain With Homeopathy
Trigeminal neuralgia is a painful condition where one experiences intense, electric shock-like pain affecting the face. It results due to irritation of the trigeminal nerve. Living with trigeminal neuralgia can be quite difficult and it may affect the quality of life adversely. Fortunately, homeopathy can treat the condition effectively and gently. Let’s have a look at a trigeminal neuralgia case treated remarkably with homeopathy at Life Force.
A 71-year-old patient from Madhurai, Mr. N.M. (PIN: 32585) started online treatment from Life Force Homeopathy on 27th June 2017 for his pain affecting the right side of the face daily every 2 hours. After every 2 hours, the pain would occur and last for a few seconds to 1 minute. It used to get triggered by the cold air. He was unable to eat and talk and was taking Tab Oxetol 150 mg 2 tablets thrice a day and Cap. Gabantin 100 mg 1 tab BD. Despite this, the pain persisted.
MRI Brain dated 28th June 2014 revealed that
- There is evidence of an abnormal vascular loop seen adjacent to the preganglionic segment of the right side of the 5th nerve (cause of trigeminal neuralgia).
- Left side 5th nerve appears normal.
- Mucosal polyp noticed in right maxillary antra.
At Life Force:
Dr. Rajesh Shah studied the case in detail and prescribed certain medications and blood investigations to the patient. In the blood report, certain nutrients were low. So, the necessary nutritional supplements were suggested to the patient.
Follow-Ups:
At the follow-up on 29th August 2018, the patient’s intensity of the pain was mild and the frequency was reduced to 7-8 times a day. The patient was taking Tab Oxetol 150 mg 2 tablets thrice a day.
At the follow-up on 27th March 2019, the patient’s frequency of pain was reduced. No major episodes bothered the patient. The patient tapered Tab. Oxetol 150 mg 2-2-2 tablet to 2-1.5-1.5 daily.
At the follow-up on 5th November 2020, the patient’s relief was better in terms of pain frequency, and intensity. But, the patient’s pain had increased in the last 2 weeks due to the onset of the winter.
At the follow-up on 15th September 2021, the patient’s pain had reduced. He was experiencing merely a mild discomfort only on exposure to the damp weather.
Conclusion:
This case illustrates that, at Life Force Homeopathy, an elderly patient with trigeminal neuralgia found incredible relief from the pain and discomfort with homeopathy successfully and safely without any side effects. Also, homeopathy helps minimize or eliminate the dependency on painkillers effectively.
