Hello Dental Professionals,
This letter below from Brian Nelson is directed to every dental employee in the world. The only thing I am selling is an idea to get you to take your time to read this page about Trigeminal Neuralgia Extreme Facial Pain. The dentist is the person in the first line of defense to kill the pain. It can easily feel like it is coming from inside the mouth depending on uniqueness of the patients disorder. Only 1 patient in 25,000 has this medical disorder so the odds of you as a dental person coming across this medical problem is very rare.
Read on why this very important message is being directed today just to the dental profession. A patient my not come to you because you did anything wrong but because he has pain. When this pain occurs the most common thing a patient will do is to call their dentist. Keep reading because it may save patients life. I will explain the suicidal nature of the disorder below. Thanks. Brian Nelson 713-467-3025. Houston, TX
Trigeminal Neuralgia and Facial Pain.
(Hopefully this never happened to you.
You have got Facial Pain?.................extreme, sporadic, sudden burning or shock-like pain in your face that lasts from a few seconds to as long as 2 minutes per episode. It is almost always on the same side of your face but it does move around. The intensity of pain can be physically and mentally incapacitating. Often they tell you it is all you your head. " Your crazy" Your friends and loved ones remind you that you have been to Doctor after Doctor and they all say your are just fine. There is nothing there. Get over it. Get on with your life. Yah sure............. but no one seems to understand your pain. They think your are making it up to get attention or get out of doing some thing you are supposed to do. Episodes can last for days, weeks, or months at a time and then disappear for months or even years. But then they come back. It is view by your loved ones as a another sign of depression. You are having a bad week.
The attacks often worsen over time, with fewer and shorter pain-free periods before they recur. The intense flashes of pain can be triggered by vibration or contact with the cheek such as when shaving, washing the face, or applying makeup, brushing teeth, eating, drinking, talking, or being exposed to the wind. Wow, This is getting serious. Finally someone helps you come up with a name for this pain. Viola. Sometimes they call it Trigeminal Neuralgia, or TN Sometimes they call tic douloureux. Ok so now maybe your are not alone. You have companionship. You gradually learn that if you have what you think it might be that there are only 1 in 25,000 people have this. The reason the doctors couldn't find your problem is because they only have maybe 5,000 patients. So how would they ever learn about this. . Then you find that most likely your pain is cause by something messing with your Trigeminal nerve. That is the nerve leads from 3 part of your face on either the left or the right side and goes directly to the brain.
TN occurs most often in people over age 50, but it can occur at any age, and is a little more common in women than in men. But that doesn't leave anyone off the hook including very small children or growing teenaages There is some evidence that the disorder runs in families, perhaps because of an inherited pattern of blood vessel formation. Although sometimes debilitating, the disorder is not life-threatening.
The presumed cause of TN is a blood vessel pressing on the trigeminal nerve in the head as it exits the brainstem. TN could be part of the normal aging process but in some cases it is the associated with another disorder, such as multiple sclerosis, a tumor or other disorders characterized by damage to the myelin sheath that covers certain nerves.
Is there any hope? Yes of course there is hope. The problem is you have to find exactly where in the head the source of the pain is coming from. Because there are a large number of conditions that can cause facial pain, TN can be difficult to diagnose. But finding the cause of the pain is important as the treatments for different types of pain may differ. Treatment options include medicines such as anticonvulsants and tricyclic antidepressants, surgery, and complementary approaches. Typical analgesics and opioids are not usually helpful in treating the sharp, recurring pain caused by TN. If medication fails to relieve pain or produces intolerable side effects such as excess fatigue, surgical treatment may be recommended. Several neurosurgical procedures are available. Some are done on an outpatient basis, while others are more complex and require hospitalization. Some patients choose to manage TN using complementary techniques, usually in combination with drug treatment. These techniques include acupuncture, biofeedback, vitamin therapy, nutritional therapy, and electrical stimulation of the nerves.
What is the prognosis?
The disorder is characterized by recurrences and remissions, and successive recurrences may be incapacitating. It is very serious. Due to the intensity of the pain, even the fear of an impending attack may prevent activity. Trigeminal neuralgia is not fatal. Therefore it is not treated by the research community as if it were terminal. But the pain is there and unless you have had sporadic facial pain you can't really understand what a TN patient is going through.
If you have just one more ray of hope or have found a friend here who has a similar pain problem who can understand how you feel then I feel. t Is there hope in finding the cause of your pain. Yes Yes. It is not easy but the more we meet and discuss this the more we learn on how to treat this. There has been some research which has helped discover many things but the only way we can discover more to help everyone is have a lot more research? Research costs a lot of money. We are gradually getting there but it won't come overnight. One of our biggest problems is that although TN is one of the most painful medical disorders know it usually is not fatal. Therefore the funds for research are few and far between.
Let me give you some ideas on what are some of the things that are being done?
TNA Professional Outreach & Education Pilot Program
TNA Regional Conference -- Vanderbilt -- May 2007
Lifetime Achievement Dinner for Peter Jannetta, MD -- Pittsburgh -- April 2007
TNA National Conference 2008 -- Detroit? (Not confirmed yet but looks like it will work out)
TNA Support Groups
TNA Telephone Support Contacts
OHSU Diagnostic Questionnaire (you can view it at www.ohsu.edu and then type in TN questionnaire to find the questionnaire)
University of Florida's McKnight Brain Institute Facial Pain Research Program (which will include adult stem cell research)
TNA Patient Registry
Epidemiology Study (already in the works)
NIH funding for facial pain research
$100,000 Botox trial for TN patients (we haven't gotten the money for this yet but have been told the check is coming)
