Trigeminal neuralgia is known as the world's first pain, and transient paroxysmal severe pain recurs in the trigeminal innervated area, causing people to suffer during the attack. The large temperature difference between the morning and evening of spring and the change of weather can stimulate muscle and blood vessel contraction, resulting in abnormal discharge of the trigeminal nerve, which in turn causes severe pain, inducing trigeminal neuralgia and causing severe pain. However, spring is also a good time to treat trigeminal neuralgia, as early treatment can reduce the number of attacks.
1. Ischemia
Trigeminal neuralgia is closely linked to cerebral ischemia, which can cause local malnutrition and reduce nerve viability, and other factors can induce trigeminal neuralgia.
2. Disorders of the tooth and jaw system
Disorders of the dental and jaw system, such as premature contact with the tip of the tooth or severe malocclusion deformity, can cause spasms in the muscle groups around the joint, resulting in dysfunction, easy to generate small amounts of abnormal impulses, which are continuously transmitted to the central nervous system, causing the center to lose its homeostasis, which in turn leads to functional disorders.
3. Oppression
Because certain factors make the trigeminal nervous system feel compressed or pulled, it is easy to cause trigeminal neuralgia. For example, the upper cerebellar artery and the base of the skull artery compress the trigeminal nerve, and the stenosis of the bone foramen caused by tympanic membrane inflammation or bone hyperplasia can also compress the trigeminal nerve, which in turn causes pain.
4. Stimulated
When inflammation occurs in the local tissues and organs innervated by the trigeminal nerve, such as paranasal sinusitis, gingivitis and traumatic lesions, due to continuous chronic stimulation, it can lead to nerve inflammation or nerve fibrosis, resulting in functional dysfunction and spasm of blood vessels distributed on the trigeminal nerve roots, which in turn induces pain.
5. Diseases of the central nervous system
Brain function and thalamus disorders in the central nervous system center, or organic lesions can easily lead to trigeminal neuralgia; herpes virus can enter the skull along the trigeminal nervous system, such viruses lurk in the trigeminal ganglia and spinal ganglia, as long as it invades the trigeminal cerebral cortex will induce trigeminal neuralgia.
1. Increase or decrease clothes according to weather changes
Spring weather changes, can not take off the cotton clothes at once, should pay more attention to the weather forecast, according to the temperature changes to increase or decrease clothes. Pay attention to indoor air circulation and sufficient light, maintain suitable humidity and temperature, prevent sudden cold and hot, due to cold stimulation, can stimulate the central nervous system, and then induce disease.
2. Exercise more
Maintaining moderate exercise can enhance physical fitness and reduce the risk of respiratory infections, and moderate-intensity aerobic exercise such as brisk walking, jogging or skipping rope is preferred, but strenuous exercise cannot be done. In addition, do a good job of life conditioning, reasonably arrange work and rest, pay attention to the combination of work and leisure, and avoid too tired body. Sleep at least 7 to 8 hours a day, do not go out in windy weather, and prevent cold winds from irritating the face. When washing your face and brushing your teeth, you must pay attention to gentle movements, otherwise it will stimulate the trigger point and induce trigeminal neuralgia.
Tips
Patients with trigeminal neuralgia should pay attention to a light diet, choose liquid food, can not eat difficult to chew or fried food, refuse irritating too sweet and sour and hot food, so as not to induce pain due to chewing. Drink plenty of water, eat more foods with detoxifying effects, fresh fruits and vegetables, and soy products. Strictly follow the doctor's instructions to use the drug, and the dosage cannot be changed arbitrarily. Keep a good mood, build confidence that you can overcome the disease, and do not use home remedies or secret recipes.
