A 31-year-old female (PIN: 38838) visited the Life Force clinic for the treatment of her complaints of trigeminal neuralgia in 2019. She was suffering from a dull aching pain on the right side of her face. Her pain was severe, a shooting type of pain, and she was taking conventional treatment. Her complaints started in 2013. When she visited our clinic, her complaint of trigeminal neuralgia was progressing gradually. The severe spike of pain would last for 2-3 seconds and used to be followed by continued lingering mild pain for 4-5 sec. Initially, the frequency of the episode affected her with major spikes of pain 10 times a day or more.

The patient had taken RFTC and was in remission period for the last 1 year. Now, she was having severe shock-like pain. She was experiencing pain even on slight movements, laughing, speaking, brushing, washing her face, eating, and mouth movements. The patient had a painful right-side jaw, below the corner of the right lip, and the right-side chin that had major symptoms such as the inability to stretch the lips. Her daily routine was getting affected as she was unable to talk, eat, and brush. She was suffering from the pain in corner of her right lip, numbness in the right-side tongue, numbness near the right-side lip, and tenderness. The nature of the pain was electric-shock-like. The MRI scan reports were suggestive of right-sided trigeminal neuralgia.  

Her complaints used to get aggravated during the exposure to the cold, draft of air, talking, brushing, and chewing on the right side.

Her case was taken in detail, and her mental and physical generals were noted.

She would easily mingle with people and was an outgoing type of person. The patient was an optimistic and hardworking person. Her confidence level was good, but she was more worried about her present disease state. 

Her general and systemic examination was done. Her blood pressure (120/80mmhg) and weight (55kgs) were checked and updated.

 

After analyzing the complete case and symptom totality in detail, Dr. Shah prescribed research-based homeopathic medicines to the patient.

In July 2019, the patient experienced a 30% relief in the symptoms. Her pain had turned moderate and bearable. She occasionally had severe episodes of trigeminal neuralgia. The frequency of her complaint reduced to 1-2 episodes a week. She started reducing the dosage of allopathic drugs.
