Targeted Pain Management: Acupuncture modulates the transmission of pain signals in the nervous system stimulating the release of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers. This can lead to a reduction in the intensity of pain associated with trigeminal neuralgia.

Nerve Stimulation and Blood Flow: Acupuncture stimulates nerves and blood vessels, which enhances nerve function and improve blood circulation. For trigeminal neuralgia, improved blood flow to the affected area and enhanced nerve function contributes to pain relief.

Anti-Inflammatory Effects: Acupuncture has anti-inflammatory effects. Trigeminal neuralgia is associated with inflammation of the trigeminal nerve, and acupuncture may help reduce this inflammation, contributing to pain reduction.

Central Nervous System Stimulation: Acupuncture influences the central nervous system, including the brain and spinal cord. By affecting neural pathways and neurotransmitter activity, acupuncture alters the perception of pain and help regulate the function of the nervous system, providing relief from trigeminal neuralgia.
