Abstract
Purpose
A successful therapeutic outcome was obtained in a patient with intractable trigeminal nerve pain which was estimated to be associated with CMD T. infection through B.D. ORT and treated according to the findings of the test, and this case is herein reported.
Course
The case describes a patient who noticed a feeling of tic in the entire right buccal region about 1.5 years ago. Tics were thought to occur because this patient wore a magnet attachment as a retainer of dentures of the upper canine and molar, and those teeth were extracted, but no improvement was attained while he received various treatments alter that. Thus the patient visited our clinic. On ORT, the resonance with CMD trachomatis, SubP, and TXB2 was observed in the region where the right 2nd branch of trigeminal nerve was running. He was improved to + after treatment with Clarith 200 mg, EPA + DHA + Vt. E, and Tegretol 50 mg. Pulrane S (Hayashibara) was also administered. The area of resonance was slightly diminished at the 2nd visit, day 9, compared with the 1st visit, but the resonance of -6 was observed in the axilla and knee. He continuously took Clarith at a dose of one 200-mg tablet 2/day, and had Tegretol when pain occurred. The area of resonance with CMD T., TXB2, and SubP was reduced to a linear form at the 3rd visit, day 23, and the resonance observed in the axilla and knee was also improved to -2. At the 4th visit, day 51, no resonance with CMD T. was observed in the knee, axilla, or affected region, and his symptoms were also remitted.
Discussion and Conclusion
When the cause of intractable trigeminal nerve pain lasting over a long period of time was estimated by ORT, and the patient was treated with drugs selected according to the results of this test, his symptoms could be remitted within a short period of time, indicating the usefulness of ORT.
