Treatment and diagnostics trigeminal neuralgia in Athens, Greece

Trigeminal neuralgia treatment in Athens is carried out by competent neurologists with solid experience according to the most modern and progressive world standards. Usually, pathology requires conservative therapy, but in complex cases, operations for decompression of the affected nerve are performed. Non-invasive and invasive procedures in local clinics are carried out using high-tech equipment and instruments.

Pathology is diagnosed quickly: to determine it, doctors conduct a thorough palpation and fix the localization of the source of pain. Then CT or MRI on wide-field tomographs with a power of 3-9 Tesla is used, which give the most detailed and clear image. Tomographic diagnosis helps determine the etiology of neuralgia.

Trigeminal neuralgia treatment in Athens may include such methods:

• taking patented latest-generation normothymics and neuropeptides,
• taking anti-epileptic agents,
• acupuncture and pharmacopuncture,
• stereotactic surgery (non-invasive ablation of the trigeminal nerve root for the purpose of artificial reduction of sensitivity),
• microvascular decompression surgery (installation of a protective buffer between the nerve and the adjacent blood vessel),
• rhizotomy (dissection or excision of a section of the trigeminal nerve).

The result obtained is consolidated by physiotherapeutic procedures, which help to rehabilitate faster and return to the normal rhythm of life. Patients who received help in the city''s clinics note the complete elimination of pain and other signs of the disease. In case of concomitant and provocative pathologies, neurologists in Athens conduct a comprehensive therapy.
