A 31-years-old female patient, Mrs. R.S. (Patient Ref. No.-30242) reported at the clinic on 7th November 2016 with the complaint of trigeminal neuralgia (left sided). The patient was suffering from this complaint since 5 years, but the disease was progressing since 1 month. She was experiencing left sided facial pain. Pain used to start from the left ear and end on the left teeth. Its frequency was twice in a week. And, the pain was getting severe since one month. The patient was taking allopathic medicine continuously. Her condition aggravated during cold air exposure, change of weather, pressure, and stress.

She had fixed ideas so she did not want to change herself. She had a fear of snakes. In her childhood, due to bad relationship of her parents she was not interested in marriage.

After going through her detailed case history, she was prescribed the medicine by Dr. Shah on the basis of totality of symptoms. 

During her first follow-up on 23rd December 2016, she didn’t report any marked improvement. Her condition was aggravated, so Dr Shah made required changes in her medicine.
