Client Story

Trigeminal Neuralgia

A person kayaking in nature

Presentation

A man with a complex medical history arrived at the emergency room experiencing severe facial pain.

The 54-year-old’s pain radiated from his left cheek to his jaw and eye. Medical imaging discovered suspicious brain lesions. Previous health concerns included prior infections from exposure to bat feces and testosterone therapy usage.

PHM Actions

Extensive medical investigations were coordinated to determine the true cause of symptoms.

PHM’s Care Team were able to rule out multiple sclerosis (MS). They arranged consultations with medical cannabis experts for pain management and ordered genetic testing to optimize medication selection. The team identified speech-to-text solutions for periods when pain limited the patient’s functions. Throughout treatment, they educated the patient on lifestyle modifications to help reduce symptoms and provided detailed information about medication interactions.

Outcome

Experts made an accurate diagnosis and developed a treatment plan to improve the patient’s quality of life.

Through The PHM Approach, experts confirmed a diagnosis of Trigeminal Neuralgia and confidently ruled out multiple sclerosis. Working with top specialists, an effective treatment plan was implemented. The Care Team established ongoing care with leading experts and created contingency plans for future treatment options, giving the patient confidence and clarity about managing his condition long-term.

The PHM Difference

PHM prevented potential misdiagnosis and unnecessary treatment. As the patient noted: “The value your team provides is incredible. If I didn’t have PHM, I may have been diagnosed with MS and be on MS medication.”
