So excited to welcome Dr. Hope O'Brien to the next Brain Chat! We'll be discussing Headache and Facial Pain: Migraine and Trigeminal Neuralgia.

The month of October is Facial Pain Awareness month, but specifically October 7th is International Trigeminal Neuralgia Awareness Day. It's a day set aside for all those with this painful disease to feel seen and heard. A day to spread awareness. And a day to ask, beg, and pray for a cure. It is a day to renew hope. So, what is trigeminal neuralgia (TN)? Here is what TN is in a nutshell. Trigeminal neuralgia, also known as tic douloureux is a neurological pain condition affecting the trigeminal nerve, specifically the fifth cranial nerve. There are two trigeminal nerves, and each nerve is connected to the brain stem. Each are responsible for the function and the sending of sensations to each side of the face. When working correctly, most people don't think about, let alone know, what the trigeminal nerve is. And likely, most have never heard of the tongue-twisting named disease called trigeminal neuralgia (TN).

In this episode of the Headache Doctor Podcast, we dive into the world of occipital and trigeminal neuralgia. While these conditions are known for causing sharp, stabbing nerve pain, we explain why the nerves themselves aren't always the issue. Learn how poor neck movement and posture can irritate nerves and discover non-invasive treatments that can provide lasting relief without the need for injections or surgery. Tune in to understand the root causes of nerve pain and take control of your symptoms!If you live in or can easily get to Parker Colorado.

PainExam Show Notes: Mandibular Division of the Trigeminal Nerve Block with Dr. David Rosenblum Introduction Host: Dr. David Rosenblum Topic: Mandibular Division of the Trigeminal Nerve Block for Cancer Pain Management Techniques: Ultrasound and Fluoroscopic Guidance Overview Purpose: Alleviate chronic facial pain, specifically in cancer patients suffering from trigeminal neuralgia or other related conditions. Focus: Detailed discussion on the anatomy, clinical presentation, and procedural techniques for effective nerve block. Anatomy of the Mandibular Nerve Origin: Mandibular nerve is a branch of the trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V). Pathway: Exits the middle cranial fossa through the foramen ovale and descends between the lateral and medial pterygoid muscles. Sensory Innervation: Anterior two-thirds of the tongue Teeth and mucosa of the mandible Skin of the chin and lower lip Skin over the mandible (excluding the mandibular angle) Tragus and anterior part of the ear Posterior part of the temporalis muscle up to the scalp Ultrasound-Guided Technique Patient Positioning: Patient lies on their side with the affected side facing upward. Transducer Selection: Curvilinear transducer preferred for deeper structures. Transducer Placement: Place distal and parallel to the zygomatic arch to bridge the coronoid and condylar processes. Anatomical Landmarks: Identify the lateral pterygoid muscle and plate. Use power Doppler to locate the sphenoid palatine artery. Needle Trajectory: Introduce the needle using an out-of-plane approach to target the pterygopalatine fossa (anterior to the lateral pterygoid plate). For the mandibular nerve block, target the area posterior to the lateral pterygoid plate between the medial and lateral pterygoid muscles. Electrostimulation (Optional): Utilize a 22G, 10 cm insulated short beveled needle connected to a peripheral nerve simulator. Position confirmed by motor response from the temporalis and masseter muscles. Fluoroscopic-Guided Technique Patient Positioning: Similar to ultrasound guidance, patient lies on their side with the affected side facing upward. C-arm Positioning: Position the C-arm to visualize the foramen ovale. Needle Insertion: Insert the needle under fluoroscopic guidance towards the foramen ovale. Contrast Injection: Confirm needle placement with contrast injection. Anesthetic Administration: Administer local anesthetic and/or neurolytic agents. Clinical Symptoms and Diagnosis Symptoms: Unilateral sharp, stabbing, or burning pain in the mandibular nerve distribution. Pain triggered by activities such as eating, talking, washing the face, or cleaning the teeth. Diagnostic Imaging: MRI or CT scans to identify causes like vascular compression, mass lesions, or fractures. Complications and Considerations Potential Complications: Bleeding, hematoma, infection, and hypersensitivity reaction to the injectate. Serious complications from neurolytic agents like permanent sensory deficit and tissue necrosis. Alternative Treatments: PNS? Radiofrequency or cryoablation for recalcitrant cases. Conclusion Efficacy: Ultrasound and fluoroscopic guidance provide precise targeting of the affected nerves, minimizing collateral damage. Safety: Routine use of power Doppler imaging to avoid injury to surrounding vessels. Recommendation: Consider these techniques for patients unresponsive to oral medications or unsuitable for surgery. These show notes provide a comprehensive overview of the discussion, highlighting key points on the anatomy, technique, and clinical considerations for mandibular nerve blocks in cancer patients.

Awareness of the more uncommon multiple sclerosis symptoms can lead to an earlier diagnosis and appropriate treatment. For instance, experiencing electrical shock sensations when bending the neck forward, known as Lhermitte's sign, may indicate an attack on the cervical spinal cord. Likewise, excruciating bolts of pain across either side of the face, called trigeminal neuralgia, can be caused by a MS relapse. The MS hug, an unfriendly, squeezing sensation around the torso, can respond to muscle relaxants and nerve pain medications. Some MS symptoms, like tingling in legs, only surface when exercising or overheated (Uhthoff's phenomenon). Vertigo, a spinning sensation, can be a sign of MS, especially when lasting days and accompanied by other symptoms like gait imbalance, facial numbness and double vision. Brainstem attacks may also lead to swallowing issues and shaky vision. While MS bladder issues are commonly addressed,  bowel problems, including constipation, urgency, incontinence and trouble evacuating, should not be overlooked. Overcoming stigma is essential to treat sexual dysfunction. Barry Singer MD, Director of The MS Center for Innovations in Care, interviews: Mary Ann Picone MD, Medical Director, MS Center at Holy Name Medical Center, Teaneck, New Jersey Bruce Hughes MD, Director of the Ruan Multiple Sclerosis Center, MercyOne, Des Moines, Iowa

Emily, is working on her Bachelor's Degree in Nutritional Science and is looking forward to completing a PhD in the same field a few years after graduation. Emily has been sensitive to metals her whole life, starting with a severe allergy to earrings and other jewelry as a child. In early 2019 she was talked into getting her nose pierced by a friend and was SUPER excited. Even picking out cute nose rings. Within months of that nose piercing Emily developed multiple autoimmune diseases and suffered with the debilitating effects of Trigeminal Neuralgia, a syndrome nicknamed “The Suicide Disease” creating painful nerve sensations on the face. She also suffered from an onset of joint pain, repeated sore throats and swelling of her lymph nodes, as well as all kinds of tenderness surrounding the area. Around the same time frame Emily started noticing increase symptoms from several mercury fillings in her mouth, experiencing a large “flair” when the fillings were removed and likely swallowing a small piece of the extracted filling during removal. Symptoms from her fillings were most notably a metallic taste in her mouth, among others. Emily also shares experiences where her body actually pushed out an IUD device, and relays stories of her throat becoming sore when drinking from stainless steel water bottles and starting to feel unwell from a gifted set of new stainless steel cookware. She is still trying to discern whether or not a surgical clip was left in place during a 2017 appendectomy. She experienced a substantial, indisputable relief of her Trigeminal Neuralgia and other symptoms upon removing the nose ring for an unrelated surgical procedure, along with having her metal fillings removed. Tune in to hear the rest of her compelling story!  In this episode you will learn: How small amounts of metal can wreak BIG havoc on the body & immune system.  How to safely remove dental amalgams.

Trigeminal neuralgia, also known as tic douloureux, is a condition that causes intense pain similar to an electric shock on one side of the face. It affects the trigeminal nerve (the 5th cranial nerve), which carries signals from the face to the brain. Trigeminal neuralgia can be long-lasting, a chronic pain condition. It's more common in women and people older than 50 but anyone can get it at any age. Bell's palsy is a condition that causes sudden weakness, temporary facial paralysis, in the muscles on one side of the face. This happens when there's inflammation and swelling of your seventh cranial nerve . The weakness makes half of the face appear to droop. We will discuss the causes and safe, natural ways to eliminate these conditions.

In this episode, I'm letting you in on a journey that turned my world upside down. It's about my fight with trigeminal neuralgia, a term that was as foreign to me as the unimaginable pain it brought into my life. This isn't just a story about physical pain, though. It's about hitting roadblocks when you're desperately seeking help, making tough choices that feel like gambles, and finding light in the darkest of places. I've had moments of feeling utterly lost, battling not just the condition but the very people supposed to help me navigate it. Through all the turbulence, I discovered not just the power of self-advocacy but the deep resilience within me.  So, come along as I share the raw, unfiltered chapters of this journey, with all its ups and downs, and how it's reshaped my outlook on life.Additional Links on TN and Brain Surgery:  https://youtu.be/eOeTLcOskx0?si=OIqCizPu3n-twwtXhttps://youtu.be/4GfpwU3meHE?si=nyVUzm6yFD12Rw5sFollow me on Instagram @martis_mslifeVideo Pod: https://youtu.be/-Pl4AV5LUm4?si=nXznLhHzm7F9a8sMSend me a question and I will share it on the pod!: marti@marthines.com www.martihines.com

We're going to look at some of the causes of trigeminal neuralgia and potential remedies. There are two types of trigeminal neuralgia. Type 1 trigeminal neuralgia is characterized by unilateral, sudden, brief, shooting, or stabbing pain. It can reoccur every two seconds to two minutes from twice a day to 200 times per day. Type 2 trigeminal neuralgia is described as achy and chronic rather than intense. Research has found associations between polyunsaturated fatty acids and several chronic diseases, including trigeminal neuralgia. Omega-6 fatty acids are polyunsaturated fatty acids that are highly inflammatory and are a large part of the average diet. Research involving cadavers showed that many people who had trigeminal neuralgia also had certain viruses known to infect the ganglion (nerve bundles). The following viruses have been associated with trigeminal neuralgia: •Herpes virus (HHV6) •Shingles •Epstein-Barr virus •Cytomegaloviruses These viruses are considered latent viruses because they go in and out of remission. Extract from shiitake mushrooms, known as AHCC, high doses of vitamin D3 combined with zinc, berberine, and stress reduction can help put these viruses back into remission. PEA (Palmitoylethanolamide) + Luteolin can support your nerve tissue directly and target inflammation. DMSO is another powerful and penetrative anti-inflammatory that has been used to decrease phantom pain, post-operative pain, post-traumatic pain, and trigeminal neuralgia. There's an amazing technique that can reduce trigeminal neuralgia pain very quickly. It's not a permanent fix, but I've seen it work to relieve pain in about 70% of cases. Try the following technique for instant trigeminal neuralgia pain relief: 1. Isolate where the pain is coming from 2. Locate the mirror image on the opposite side of the body 3. Massage the area on the opposite side of the body (you should notice tenderness) 4. Check the bad side to determine changes to your pain level 5. Continue until your pain is manageable SUBSCRIBE TO MY NEWSLETTER HERE: https://bit.ly/3HiQByw DATA: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti... https://www.mdpi.com/1999-4923/15/4/1193 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti...

Truly, one of our favorite specials of the year is Joe Zimmerman's Cult Classic, which is saying a lot considering the wide spectrum of truly enjoyable hours of stand up comedy that were released in 2023. So, we have Zimmerman on this week's TCB Field Report to get into what went into such a fantastic hour of stand-up, specifically achieving a great baby Hitler bit (when there have been so many before Joe's) as well as the landscape of NYC comedy from Joe's POV. Follow Joe Zimmerman on IG @joezimmerman and watch Cult Classic here. As of the recording of this podcast, Kenny DeForest sadly passed away. You can support his memorial fund in his memory here. Kyle Ayers' GoFundMe for aid for treating his Trigeminal Neuralgia is here as well. Produced by Jake Kroeger Music by Brian Granillo Artwork by Andrew Delman and Jake Kroeger

In this episode, join us as we talk with new guest, Dr. Stephen A Johnson and recurring guest, Dr. Gary Heir.   This episode dives into the marriage of neurology and neurosurgery with the dental specialty of orofacial pain.   This one's so good, we're skipping (most) highlights and diving right in.  Let's go!  Stephen A. Johnson, MD  Robert Wood Johnson Medical School Chief of Neurosurgery | Community Medical Center Director of Facial Pain & Trigeminal Neuralgia | Department of Neurosurgery | RWJMS Director of Gamma Knife Radiosurgery | Department of Neurosurgery | RWJMS Assistant Professor | Department of Neurosurgery | RWJMS Dr. Johnson earned his undergraduate and medical degrees from the University of Pennsylvania with a concentration in Neuroscience, graduating Summa Cum Laude with Phi Beta Kappa Honors. He completed a residency in neurosurgery at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. During his time in Pittsburgh, Dr. Johnson also completed a fellowship in stereotactic neurosurgery under the mentorship of Dade Lunsford, a world-renowned pioneer in Gamma Knife Radiosurgery. His training also focused on microvascular decompression surgery under the guidance of Raymond Sekula, a renowned surgeon in the lineage of Peter Jannetta, who initially pioneered the procedure. Dr. Johnson specializes in Gamma Knife Radiosurgery, cranial nerve disorders, and spinal neurosurgery and has published both peer-reviewed articles and textbook chapters in these areas. He utilizes both incision-less Gamma Knife Radiosurgery and traditional open approaches in the management of cranial pathology. Similarly, he offers both minimally invasive and open treatments for degenerative spine diseases. This multi-modal approach enables Dr. Johnson to provide highly customized and effective treatment for each individual patient. Dr. Johnson has a research focus on clinical outcomes after radiosurgery. He sees patients with all spinal conditions, brain tumors, and cranial nerve disorders. Currently, he treats patients at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital and Community Hospital. A New Jersey native, Dr. Johnson enjoys surf fishing, Italian dining, and traveling with his family.

Our guest is Janet Massey. Janet started this retraining journey through DNRS in 2019. Though her journey was slow in the beginning, she learned to be present in her body, and learned how to laugh and the value of laughter. Her experiences in healing led to her starting her own laughter yoga and somatics classes, as well as lymph massage. In addition to the value she found in laughter, somatics & lymph massage, she also learned about her true identity, and the true nature and character of God. She has a doctorate in physical therapy, and a history of running her own physical therapy clinic, and she loves bringing that knowledge into her classes. Her biggest passion is talking about her identity and the nature and character of God, so she also hosts study groups, praise and worship sessions, and what she calls praising through God's word sessions. We discuss: ✳︎ The importance and value of healing in community ✳︎ How valuable laughter can be while in this healing journey and life ✳︎ How we can create space to laugh and elevate our mood even in the presence of heavy emotions like grief, while still honoring the emotions ✳︎ How to be more mindful during the day and continue to catch our negative thinking patterns ✳︎How to overcome resistance to visualizations & some fun ideas on how to approach them differently ►►►Today's episode is sponsored by Primal Trust Academy & Community.

My latest Cool Friend, Kyle Ayers (Never Seen It, Boast Rattle, Conan) is one of the most prolific and funniest people I know. He is an idea man, who executes some of the most unique and fantastic comedy ideas I've ever come across. His brain is SO sharp, that it's actually trying to kill him with Trigeminal Neuralgia, a rare brain disorder that is also known as Suicide Disease. Fun! Kyle is one of the easiest to talk to people I've ever met, and I'm so glad I could steal him for a bit to talk with me about his upcoming show at the Elysian theater in Los Angeles on September 15th (which he got some practice for at the latest Mint on Card). So listen up and enjoy, then follow Kyle on the socials (@kyleayers) and head over to Patreon.com/jeffmay for early access to uncensored episodes and enjoy our dense Patreon-exclusive bonus content we recorded JUST FOR YOU!

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Diane: I was wondering if there is anything I can do for Trigeminal neuralgia?   Diane: How do you get rid of hemi facial spasm?   Talitha: Thank you for putting your podcast out there. It's led me to explore some new approaches to ongoing issues, and some of those new approaches are already working for me. My question: what would you suggest to prevent, or lessen the chances of getting cellulitis from a mosquito bite? Last summer, I started having a bigger reaction to mosquito bites, especially on my upper legs when bit through my clothing. I got large, red and hot circles 3-6 inches in diameter. Twice last year, those bites resulted in cellulitis requiring antibiotics. There are some aggressive mosquitos, and I use a number of ways to keep them away including yard treatments, environmental repellants and a lemon eucalyptus bug spray, but I get some bites anyway. I did the detox and will quarterly. Any other suggestions?   Matthew: Hi, I have asked a question concerning HIV last time. This time, I'd like to ask what I can do about an external anal abscess that came after I contracted syphilis. I don't know how long I had had the infection for because at the time I didn't have insurance and my physician (NP) told me he couldn't do any of my labs unless I paid up front, and at the time I didn't have the money. Once I found out after my insurance started, he did my regular labs, and stated my immune system continues to fight the HIV I contracted around 11/2021. He referred me to ID which was the same one for the HIV that he referred me too, which I don't have a good relationship with because they just want to push medications. MY NP listens to me and told me to go to health department which I was given PCN injections.   Elsa: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have been suffering from allergies and congestion for a long time now. I've been listening to your podcast for a while and have recently purchased the CBO protocol (for round two) and the mold protocol and am starting those now. With allergy medication I can usually get my sneezing and runny nose under control but I can never seem to get my congestion under control. I have tried GSE spray, Nasacort spray, and neti pot with citricidal drops and all of them irritate my nose like crazy- I sneeze a ton and my nose gets really inflamed and congested. I get really discouraged because I want to breathe through my nose and clear out any yeast or bacterial overgrowth there but can't put anything in my nose without it getting irritated. Why do you think this is? Any advice?   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community's questions!      - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2696 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

"My why is bigger than myself. My why is for all the people I'm racing for and raising funds for. My why is for all the angels on my angel list. And my why is for everyone that's been told they can't do something. Because who says you can't?" Last month, professional runner Keira D'Amato hosted a week's worth of giveaways on Instagram. The fifth and final prize: an appearance on the Ali on the Run Show! The giveaway received 550 entries, and after reading every single one of them (twice!), Keira and I selected 24-time marathoner and 20-time Ironman triathlete Kristin McQueen as the winner. Meet Kristin. She's a 43-year-old from Illinois, and she is living with trigeminal neuralgia — a chronic illness she calls "Stabby Joe." ("They say it's the worst pain known to man," says Kristin, who is in near-constant pain.) In 2003, Kristin was diagnosed with thyroid cancer, and since then, she's had more than 30 surgeries, including dozens of brain surgeries. She has had to re-learn how to walk and ride a bike, she has a paralyzed vocal cord, she lost hearing on her right side, and she can only see out of her left eye. Her medical history is long and complicated — but she's never stopped fighting. In addition to her many athletic accomplishments, Kristin has also raised nearly $210,000 for the American Cancer Society. (You can donate here.) All that, plus a 15-minute catch-up with Keira (she's officially in training mode!) to kick things off.
