Abstract

Trigeminal neuralgia (ТN) is the most
common pathological condition of the cranial nerves and the most common cause of
pain in the orofacial region. More and more
literary data indicate that a significant
number of patients ТN is caused by compression on the root of the trigeminal
nerve, close to its entry into the pons in the
aberrant arterial or venous loop leading to
pathohistological changes in the nerve
while in most of the same etiological factor
for pathology TN remains a mystery. Numerous medical and surgical procedures
are available, usually without a number of
randomized clinical trials and studies of
placebo-controlled groups. As a result,
most patients experience refractory pain,
which has a significant effect on reducing
their quality of life. It is still unclear how
the available treatment methods can be
best used. Conservative (medication) treatment consists of anticonvulsant drugs,
muscle relaxants and neuroleptic agents.
In patients resistant to drug therapy promising i.е. are recommended surgical procedures include microvascular decompression, gamma-knife surgery, and percutaneous techniques of the Gasser ganglion.
In our research, we were able to evaluate
the benefits, risks and complications from
the use of the alternative, additional therapy of the use of (BoNT/A). The aim of the
paper is to evaluate the benefits and complications of the use of alternative treatment, ie. TN pain managment model using
BOTOX (botulinum toxin type A). We used
a visual analog scale (VAS) to assess pain.
From the obtained results we can conclude
that Botox treatment is a safe and effective
means of pain management in TN. Complications are mild and transient, with virtually no particular risk to patients' health
and lives.
Keywords: trigeminal neuralgia, botulinum toxin, pain.
