Pune: A 65-year-old woman in Pune, who had been tormented by excruciating facial pain caused by Trigeminal Neuralgia, has discovered a new lease on life thanks to a revolutionary treatment known as radiofrequency ablation. Affectionately referred to as the “suicidal disease” due to the relentless and intense pain it inflicts, this rare neurological disorder had left the woman unable to brush or rinse her mouth. Despite multiple tooth extractions and medication prescribed by her neurologist, she found no respite. However, following radiofrequency ablation at Painex, she experienced immediate relief and was able to discontinue her medication within a mere two weeks. Over 1.5 years later, she continues to lead a normal, pain-free life.
Trigeminal Neuralgia is a neurological disorder characterized by severe facial pain, often triggered by mundane activities such as brushing or rinsing the mouth. In this patient’s case, the pain was so excruciating that her oral hygiene suffered significantly, causing her to forego brushing or rinsing her mouth for extended periods. The situation became so unbearable that she even contemplated taking her own life.
Dr. Kashinath Bangar from Painex expressed deep satisfaction at witnessing the remarkable improvement in the patient’s quality of life following radiofrequency ablation for her debilitating facial pain caused by Trigeminal Neuralgia. This advanced treatment not only provided immediate relief but also facilitated a successful transition off medication within a mere two weeks. The restoration of her oral hygiene and her ability to lead a normal, pain-free life exemplify the positive impact of innovative pain management interventions.
Having exhausted traditional methods, the patient sought help from her dentist, who performed multiple tooth extractions in an attempt to alleviate the pain. Unfortunately, the procedure yielded no relief. Desperate for a solution, she consulted a neurologist who prescribed medication, providing partial relief. However, the medication’s side effects, including drowsiness and imbalance, presented new challenges.
It was at this juncture that she discovered Painex, a specialized pain management clinic offering innovative treatment options. Under the care of Painex’s experienced team, she underwent radiofrequency ablation, a minimally invasive procedure that targets the affected nerves to provide immediate pain relief. The treatment proved to be a resounding success, enabling her to completely discontinue her medication within just two weeks.
Since undergoing radiofrequency ablation, the patient has enjoyed over 1.5 years of a normal, pain-free life. She has been able to resume regular oral hygiene practices without discomfort, significantly enhancing her overall well-being and quality of life.
Trigeminal Neuralgia is a rare but debilitating condition, affecting an estimated 4 to 13 individuals per 100,000 people worldwide. The availability of radiofrequency ablation as a viable treatment option brings hope to those who have exhausted traditional methods and endured years of relentless pain.
