Trigeminal Neuralgia and Back Pain
The pain in the vertebrae and the fifth nerve are severe pains that may occur suddenly without warning. The pain of the fifth nerve is on one side of the face and may occur on both sides, but it is rare.
In addition to vertebrae pain, which is very difficult in many cases, in the following lines we will explain all the details related to the treatment of vertebrae and fifth nerve pain using Radiofrequency ablation technology.
What is Radiofrequency ablation?
Radiofrequency ablation has now become very popular because it works to significantly reduce pain without any surgical intervention, and it is, in fact, a generation of radiofrequency waves to treat painful nerve endings
Where there are some people who have severe pain as a result of neuritis, so the doctor sends these waves to the inflamed part of the nerve, which works to destroy this part.
There are some steps that the doctor takes to ensure that these radiofrequency waves are delivered to the inflamed part of the nerve.
This technique is also used to treat many chronic diseases and acute pains such as, the fifth nerve, the lower back, and neck pain.
Where is the fifth nerve located?
The fifth nerve, or the so-called trigeminal nerve, is located near the ear on both sides and branches into three areas to the eye, jaw, and cheek.
Knowing that this type of pain usually comes on one side of the face and that it is rare for it to come on both sides.
How to treat fifth nerve pain with radiofrequency ablation?
In the beginning, the specialist doctor tries to treat these pains through medication, and in case the pain persists, the doctor resorts to treating the patient through thermal frequency. Therefore, the neurosurgeon tries to anesthetize the fifth nerve through the following steps:
● The doctor passes a needle through the mouth to reach the fifth nerve, The doctor touches this nerve in order for the patient to feel that and make sure that this nerve is inflamed, and then anesthetizes it.
● Then the doctor sends thermal frequencies through the needle that was connected to the inflamed part of the fifth nerve, and in this way, the doctor destroys the inflamed part of the fifth nerve, and the patient’s condition improves after that.
Trigeminal Neuralgia can be treated also by surgical intervention by removing the offending vessel or by neurolysis.
How to treat vertebral pain thermal frequency?
Many people suffer from severe pain in the neck, back.
- In case of failure of medical treatment and if surgical intervention is not indicated doctors may try radiofrequency ablation for pain management.
