What are the three major treatments for neuralgic headaches

Neuralgic headaches are particularly harmful to patients, and this type of headache is relatively difficult to treat. For patients, during the treatment process, they must follow the doctor's advice and actively cooperate with the doctor for good treatment. There are many treatment methods, such as conservative treatment methods, physical therapy, relaxation therapy, and drug therapy, etc. In addition, in daily life, patients must maintain an optimistic attitude, which will help the treatment. Good conditioning and health care in life, doing some yoga regularly, and moderately enriching your life outside of work can all help treat and regulate neuralgia.

1. Comprehensive physical therapy: "Comprehensive physical therapy" includes electroacupuncture therapy, neuromuscular electrical stimulation therapy, electrical excitation therapy, meridian leveling therapy and massage therapy, etc. The treatment is based on a course of treatment. Generally, one course of treatment is one month. After one month of comprehensive hospitalization, the patient can go home and continue to take medication.

1. For many chronic cases, the course of the disease is more than 10-20 years. The hospitalization time needs to be appropriately extended. Continuous treatment can be 2-3 months, and most patients can recover.

2. In addition to the above-mentioned comprehensive treatment measures, the most important thing for hospitalization is psychological adjustment, because this disease is a neuropsychological disease, and better results will be achieved with psychological treatment.

2. Relaxation therapy for headaches: Relaxation therapy, as an auxiliary therapy for drug treatment, is a treatment method that uses subjective imagination and objective measures to achieve muscle relaxation, mental stability and reduce anxiety.

1. Relaxation therapy, as an important part of psychological and behavioral treatment to reduce anxiety, can significantly relieve various nervous headaches, migraines, insomnia, anxiety, depression, neurasthenia, etc. caused by mental factors.

2. As we all know, factors such as mental anxiety and nervous excitement can cause spasms in the scalp and neck and back muscles, resulting in a tight feeling of the scalp and causing headaches and dizziness. Tension or emotional stimulation can aggravate the symptoms, accompanied by anxiety, irritability, palpitations, sweating, neck and back pain, tinnitus, inattention, memory loss and other symptoms. It may be complicated by other neurological symptoms such as depression symptoms and obsessive-compulsive symptoms.

3. Drug treatment

1. Vasoconstrictor: It is a powerful vasoconstrictor, suitable for the prevention of migraine aura stage. Use before a headache occurs.

2. Magnesium preparations: Magnesium ions can reduce the excitability of the central nervous system, block sympathetic ganglia, relax vascular smooth muscles, and dilate blood vessels. You can take 15 ml of 33% magnesium sulfate orally 3 times a day.

3. Calcium-ion antagonists: The main mechanism of action of this type of drug is to block the slow calcium ion channel, inhibit the release of serotonin and thromboxane A2 by platelets, persistently inhibit vasoconstrictive substances and dilate blood vessels, thereby improving vascular vasodilation and contraction function. These drugs include nitroglycerin, pindolol, nemopine, cefotaxime and flunarizine hydrochloride.

4. Analgesics: The main purpose of using this type of medicine is to relieve or eliminate the pain of headache. Because the drug can combine with receptors in the brain, it stimulates the anti-pain system in the brain, increases the pain threshold, and thus exhibits analgesic effects. Commonly used drugs include aspirin, chlorpromazine, chlorpromazine, carbamazepine and chlorpromazine.
