She had electric shock like pain from right cheek to right ear and occasionally to right temple, typical of TN. The pain was severe, continuous daily, affecting her daily life. She could not eat, could not talk, and could not work due to the pain. Draft of air, Air conditioners, exposure to breeze, hard food and brushing would increase the pain.

As per her case details, Dr Shah’s research based medicines were given. Within a month, her neuralgic pains had reduced remarkably and her Mazetol was reduced to thrice a day.
Gradually Mazetol was tapered and stopped in another 2mths. Homeopathy medicines were continued for few months.
