Abstract
Trigeminal neuralgia causes severe facial pain, affecting daily life and leading to anxiety and depression. The latest classification differentiates between primary and secondary forms. Treatments, including anticonvulsants and surgery, have mixed results. Ayurveda links this condition to an excess of Vata dosha in the cranial nerves.
Aim and objectives: To discover the potential of Ayurveda in the acute management of Type 1 trigeminal neuralgia.
Material and methods: A 41-year-old woman with intermittent pricking pain and tingling in the right lower jaw was diagnosed with Type 1 trigeminal neuralgia. She received Shamana and Shodhan Chikitsa as per Ayurvedic principles for 15 days.
Observation and results: Pain and shock-like sensations decreased, reducing the social fear of pain and improving quality of life. Transient numbness occurred early.
