Can supraorbital neuralgia heal on its own?

The eye is a complex tissue. It is not only a sensory organ of the human body, but also a part that has a great influence on the image. The eye nerves are relatively dense and can be easily affected by various factors and cause pain. For example, supraorbital neuralgia is a very common phenomenon that can cause great pain to people's bodies. Let's take a look at whether supraorbital neuralgia can heal itself?

The supraorbital nerve is the superficial terminal branch of the first ramus of the trigeminal nerve. Supraorbital neuralgia refers to persistent or paroxysmal pain in the distribution of the supraorbital nerve (frontal area). Supraorbital neuralgia is often intermittent unexplained burning pain or dull pain in one or both sides of the eyeball and orbit, with obvious tenderness at the supraorbital notch, but no organic lesions in the eyeball and its appendages. It is a common ophthalmological disease. It is more common in adults, more common in women than in men.

1. Western medicine treatment

(1) Drug treatment

①. Acetaminophen : Orally taken after meals;

②. Indomethacin: Take during or after meals;

③. Ibuprofen;

④. Pregabalin : used to treat neuropathic pain, taken orally.

If vitamin B drugs are used, dilantin or carbamazepine can be used for those with obvious pain.

(2 ) Blockade therapy Blockade therapy can also be used at the same time, such as 1% to 2% novocaine plus vitamin B12 to block the supraorbital notch, once every other day, and symptoms can be relieved after 3 to 5 times.

(3 ) Physical therapy combined with physical therapy such as electrokinetic (sparse-dense wave) therapy or magnetic field therapy.

(4 ) Nerve block therapy: Supraorbital nerve block can quickly relieve pain. It can have an immediate effect on intractable supraorbital neuralgia that is not well treated with drug therapy. It also requires a small dosage, has low risk, and has few side effects.

2. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment

Some patients with supraorbital neuralgia can achieve certain therapeutic effects after taking Chinese medicine, which can stop or alleviate the pain attacks. Traditional Chinese medicine advocates syndrome differentiation and treatment for this disease, and provides targeted treatment according to different types.

prevention

A correct lifestyle is the best way to prevent supraorbital neuralgia. Avoid irritants such as coffee, soda, and cigarettes; eat more beneficial foods such as fruits, vegetables, and cereals; supplement with lecithin, minerals, B vitamins, vitamin E, etc.
