The triple nerve is responsible for the operation of the facial area. It has three large branches. One is attached in the area of the lower jaw, the second - around the nose, and the third - above both eyebrows. In case of damage to this part, a person has severe pain in any area of the head and neck. Treatment of the trigeminal nerve is possible, both in the hospital and at home - it all depends on the symptoms. Anesthetics are primarily used. In addition, it is important to determine the cause of the appearance of unpleasant sensations and to remove it.
Treatment of neuralgia of the trigeminal nerve at home
In most cases, treatment is prescribed at home. Usually used are:
- Carbamazepine. The composition includes analgesic and anticonvulsant components. The drug is considered toxic. It negatively affects the digestive, endocrine and cardiovascular systems. Therefore it is forbidden to take it to nursing mothers and pregnant women. Despite this medicine is considered one of the best in this field.
- Pipolphen is an antihistamine. Used only when paired with carbamazepine, enhancing its effect.
- Glycine. Acts mainly as an additional drug. It helps to remove nervousness, which prevents the appearance of an attack.
In some cases, tranquilizers and neuroleptics are prescribed.
Treatment of inflammation of the trigeminal nerve at home using massage

In the event of unpleasant sensations in the neck, it is recommended to knead with forward movements from the shoulders to the chin. If the problems directly affect the facial area - the massage is performed from the center to the periphery.
