An Integrated Approach to Diagnosis, Therapy, and Prognosis of Trigeminal Neuralgia

Abstract

Positive dynamics in terms of pulse wave types was also observed in the third subgroup of patients who received comprehensive treatment, including the administration of L-arginine. In this subgroup of patients, there was a tendency to decrease the value of pulse curve type A, increase the value of curve type B and curve type C, which, in turn, indicates an improvement in the elasticity of arterial vessels. Using drug therapy according to scheme 3, two months after the treatment, a statistically significant (p=0.003305) change in the structure of the pulse wave was observed: the content of type A decreased from 53.1% to 33.7%, and the presence of type C increased from 22.9% to 44.6%.
