Most of the nursing care for trigeminal neuralgia is done pre- and post-operatively. However, once a patient is diagnosed with TN, they may need some help to cope with the pain until a treatment pathway can be decided upon. TN is often referred to as 'the suicide disease' due to the fact that the extreme pain and lack of immediate signs as to the cause of the pain has caused many of those afflicted to take their own lives. As more information is gained surrounding this affliction, that number is going down. When the diagnosis of trigeminal neuralgia is made, a nurse may be able to help the patient with the following items:
- Join an online support group. - Those suffering from trigeminal neuralgia are not alone! There are several websites in which patients can discuss their disease, ask questions, gather information on different coping mechanisms and treatments and support one another.
- Make a list of positive aspects of life. - Because the pain can be so severe, having a running list of things that add to happiness are often very helpful. Whether it is photos of friends and families, motivational quotes, something the patient wants to learn, etc., being able to concentrate on a positive item can help these patients make it through the bouts of pain. .
- Keep a diary of your experiences. - This can help to suss out triggers for trigeminal neuralgia. Maybe the pain occurs on the left side of the face every time the teeth are brushed with cold water. Or perhaps it occurs when chewing on the right side of the mouth. This information can help those suffering to avoid these triggers but also help their doctor to determine the best course of action.
- Practice healthy habits. - Good health habits will lead to better health. They may also help patients to avoid triggers or simply bear with the pain.
- Research TN and the treatment options. - A good knowledge base will help one who is suffering take control of their illness, and potentially, their pain. There are many different websites which outline the disease, potential triggers and treatment options.
A nurse can help to explain these items to someone who is suffering from trigeminal neuralgia and set them up on a path to success.
