Ternary nerve symptoms of defeat and entrapment

Many people know that there are 12 pairs of cranial nerves in the body.Depending on what type of fiber they are, they are also divided into sensitive fibers( contain sensitive fibers), motor fibers( contain motor fibers) and mixed fibers( contain those fibers).From what type of brain is the cranial nerve( motor, sensitive or mixed depends on its symptoms).The triple nerve( n. Trigeminus) - V pair of cranial nerves is predominantly sensitive( the proportion of motor fibers is small), so the symptoms of trigeminal nerve damage primarily will be caused by damage to sensitive fibers.It is also important to understand the zone of "responsibility"( innervation) of the trigeminal nerve.Symptoms of defeat of the trigeminal nerve are limited to her.

The main causes of

In ordinary life, one often has to hear about symptoms of pinching of the trigeminal nerve.Although, from a medical point of view, this term is not quite the right proportion of the truth in it.One of the frequent causes of neuralgia( this is how the cases are diagnosed in the international classification) is precisely the compression( jamming) of n.Trigeminus surrounding tissues.This is most often a pathologically curved cerebellar artery.But also can be: a tumor or a stroke.

The main symptoms of the defeat of the trigeminal nerve

It is also common to hear that the trigeminal nerve is chilled.Symptoms and treatment of the disease are described similarly with a pinch.In fact, the trigeminal nerve is chapped or jammed for official medicine - this is still one disease - neuralgia.One of the factors of development of which is the general or local hypothermia of the body."Chilled" in this context means subjected to hypothermia.Sometimes they mean inflammation, knowing that inflammatory diseases of the gums, teeth, ENT - organs, meninges are often recognized among the causes.Separately, it is worth mentioning the herpes simplex of the trigeminal nerve, when as a result of hypothermia, the herpes virus becomes active already "living" in nerve fibers.

The main symptoms of the

are determined by the fact that n.Trigeminus is mostly sensitive.The main symptom, of course, is pain.Pain is a specific, characteristic, such that it is not difficult to unravel the pathology.So, how does the trigeminal nerve hurt?Let's single out three main characteristics of the pain:

• paroxysmal, arises abruptly, characterized by high intensity, comparable to the impact of the current, after an attack( no more than two minutes), there is relaxation.
• is localized in the places for which "n" is responsible.Trigeminus, or its individual branches.
• is provoked by irritation of the special( trigger) points on the face, when chewing, rubbing, pressing
  

  Pain in inflammation of the trigeminal nerve

The pain is so intense that when a person says: "I have chilled the trigeminal nerve asTo treat? "Most often, he asks about how he can stop the pain syndrome.We'll talk about how to relieve pain in inflammation of the trigeminal nerve just below, but for now we'll move on to other symptoms.

• Local twitching of individual muscle fibers, spasms of individual muscles, sometimes even paresis due to the fact that the nerve is still mixed, that is, it carries a certain proportion of motor fibers in its composition
• Decreased sensitivity in the affected area until complete anesthesia
• In case of a prolonged course of muscular dystrophy the sides of the lesion because the patient spares the side when chewing

Symptoms of herpetic neuralgia are typical - this is a local itchy reddening of the area toAlong the course of the branches n.Trigeminus.After one to three days, blisters( vesicles) with transparent contents appear on the spot of reddening.Which are then opened, the erosions formed are covered with crusts and soon heal.

Thus, with different lesions of the trigeminal nerve, pain is the main symptom.The trigeminal nerve hurts - what to do?

one of the ways to treat trigeminal nerve lesions

Pain relief methods

• Drugs - anticonvulsants( carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine) - are most effective, analgesics from the group of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, antidepressants with analgesic activity

can pick up
• surgical methods - various blockades of branches, destruction of individual branches, are used quite rarely, with inefficiencyConservative treatment and persisting even against the background of taking high-intensity medication pain.
• folk methods of pain relief - applying halves of a hard-boiled chicken egg to the places of greatest soreness, using a tincture of mint, which is moistened with gauze and applied to painful places( tincture can be prepared by pouring dry vodka vodka and pressing for 14 days), applying geranium leaves toPlaces of soreness.Also, dry heat is sometimes used, but with this method, as with any other, it is better to first consult with a doctor and go through a set of additional examinations so as not to provoke any undesirable phenomena.
