Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a chronic, debilitating condition that causes sharp facial pain typically associated with the trigeminal nerve. While it is most often treated with pharmaceutical options such as anticonvulsants, antidepressants and antispasmodics, drug therapies can be highly ineffective in reducing the frequency and intensity of TN symptoms.
Class IV laser therapy is an excellent alternative or adjunctive treatment option for those seeking lasting relief from trigeminal neuralgia. Unlike some medications, Class IV laser therapy does not have any systemic toxic side effects. Furthermore, there is no risk of addiction or other dependence-related issues like that seen with opioid painkillers.
As a result, Class IV laser therapy offers a safe and effective non-pharmaceutical treatment option that can provide longer-term symptom relief without exposing patients to the risks associated with opioid use. Additionally, because sessions are completed quickly, this type of therapy allows patients to get quick relief while still maintaining their daily routine. Ultimately, Class IV laser therapy has emerged as an appealing option for individuals seeking lasting relief from the uncomfortable and often disabling symptoms of TN.
