Nervous system pain


        NERVOUS SYSTEM PAIN
Among the most severe of all chronic pain syndromes is trigeminal neuralgia or tic douloureux. This condition, known in some alarmist literature as 'suicide pain', is an affliction of a sensory nerve in the face.
Even a puff of wind, or a slight brushing touch, can set off a bout of severe pain. The pain is classically described as being fleeting in nature, occurring like lightning strikes — each one being as agonising as the others.
Although its cause is as yet unknown, it has been treated in the past by neurosurgical procedures which include lifting the nerve off from the artery thought to be causing compression on the nerve.
More damaging procedures such as alcohol injections of the nerve and a collection of nerve cells which control it, have been used, sometimes effectively, but sometimes leaving one side of the face totally numb.
Treatments Medications include the anti-epileptic drugs Tegretol and Dilantin. More recently, another anti-epilepsy medication, Ri-votril, has been successfully used in pain clinics in Australia and throughout the world.
Antidepressant drugs such as Prothiaden, Anafranil and Tolvon have also been used to modify the pain experience and to control the understandable depression that is caused by this most devastating of pain problems.
