Physiotherapeutics, in combination with the ancient method of acupuncture, has had a positive effect in the recovery of patients suffering from trigeminal neuralgia, the results being noticeable after just 3 – 4 days of treatment. The advantages of these methods also reside in the fact that the patients accept them much more easily, eliminating stress, risks and discomforts. The study was performed on a number of 28 patients, and has had impressive results, having no relapses even after six months from the ending of the treatment.
