There is an exciting, safe, new,
medication + injection free,
non-surgical, treatment option for Trigeminal Neuralgia
using a recently FDA approved technology
Trigeminal Neuralgia (TN) is generally considered one of the most severe and life disrupting pains known to man. Unfortunately, in most people, Trigeminal Neuralgia is a progressive illness that intensifies and becomes more difficult to control over the years.
Medication, although most often initially very effective at low doses, usually loses its effect over the years. Each patient with Trigeminal Neuralgia has different tolerance to these medications and to his/her pain, but , over the years of disease progression, at least half will eventually find that medications do not adequately control their progressively worsening TN.
Medication has not been shown to slow the progression of the disease. On the contrary, over the years, most people often find themselves having to take higher doses of medication or having to take several different medications together to control their pain with a resultant accumulation of frequent problematic side effects. Eventually, over the long term, about half of all Trigeminal Neuralgia patients will seek a surgical solutions to manage there pain.
Surprisingly, the latest scientific work has shown that the likely cause of this terrible pain is a tiny nerve lesion measuring less then 0.5 cm!
Equally surprising is the fact that this small injury to the nerve appears in many cases to be highly reversible even in cases that have lasted many years and become severely problematic.
Ultrasound is sound that is not audible. Ultrasound delivered to injured nerves has been shown in several studies to heal the type of nerve damage commonly seen in the trigeminal nerve of patient’s with Trigeminal Neuralgia. Until the Painshield technology came to light, there was no available ultrasound device that could safely deliver healing ultrasound waves to the inside of the skull where the lesion of the trigeminal nerve is located.
Today, the amazing results seen in patients with trigeminal neuralgia who have been treated with the Painshield demonstrate that there is definitely a role for this healing sound in the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia. Firstly, for the rapid and impressive pain relief obtained with this technology. But equally, if not more important, for the purpose of doing what no other conservative or minimally invasive treatment available today does; Which is to attempt to reverse the nerve damage to the trigeminal nerve, or at least slow its progress.
Dr Adahan was the world's first Medical Specialist to apply the Painshield to patients with problematic pain syndromes and has accumulated a broad experience in the application of this technology in neuropathic pain patients. Dr Adahan has been instrumental in developing the clinical indications, applications and usage protocols for the Painshield technology and is active in research and teaching in the field.
