I have had constant pain in the left eyebrow and between the eyebrows for the past 4 months.
It gets worse when the area is touched with the fingers.
The pain also increases when chewing food or looking up.
He was diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia and received a nerve block injection.
However, as there was no improvement in his symptoms, he came to the hospital looking for an alternative treatment.

Treatment and progress
I had acupuncture done on the acupressure points on my hand to relieve the pain at the base of my left eyebrow.
In addition, acupuncture was performed on pressure points on the shoulders and lower back to relieve stiffness in the back of the head and promote blood flow to the head and face.
The same goes for the second treatment.
When I checked during his third visit, I was told that "there have been no symptoms since the second visit."
The treatment was completed.
Acupressure points used
Summary
To improve facial pain (trigeminal neuralgia), it is essential to relieve stiff neck and shoulders and promote blood flow to the face.
In this case, tension in the back of the head was particularly noticeable, which is thought to have restricted blood flow to the face.
