In our clinical practice, we utilize a variety of devices; however, the cases discussed here were addressed exclusively using the coMra Delta. One particularly moving success story involves Anita, who suffered from trigeminal neuralgia for 35 years. When she first came to us at 97 years old, she was living a very restricted life. The pain associated with trigeminal neuralgia is so excruciating that even the slightest touch – or a simple kiss – can trigger a debilitating episode. Consequently, Anita had become isolated, withdrawing from her family out of fear and the inability to bear physical contact. Her family was deeply distressed to see her end her life in such a state of suffering.
To assist Anita, we utilized the Delta 980 device. I instructed her to treat herself five times a day. It is vital to understand that when addressing nerve damage, one must be cautious not to over-treat, particularly in the early stages. While muscle damage can often be treated frequently, nerves are more sensitive; over-treatment can actually exacerbate the pain. Because of this, we develop custom protocols for every individual suffering from such conditions.
Anita followed her personalized protocol consistently for two months. By the end of this period, she began to experience immense improvement. Now, she reports a 90 percent reduction in pain – a remarkable outcome after 35 years of agony.
The impact of this recovery was profound. Anita recently celebrated her 100th birthday, an occasion marked by a beautiful moment: she was able to eat her birthday cake. For years, she had been unable to eat properly, as both chewing and the temperature of food served as triggers for her condition. Trigeminal neuralgia is a devastating disease that strips away simple joys; even the act of blowing out birthday candles can trigger a painful episode.
Seeing Anita celebrate with her family, free from the constraints of her condition, was truly inspiring. She is now able to engage in many activities that were previously impossible for her. While we have successfully helped many patients with trigeminal neuralgia, Anita remains a favorite case, serving as a testament to the life-changing potential of the coMra Delta and the effectiveness of a dedicated, well-structured therapy protocol.
