SRN docs treat nerve disorderthat Salman Khan suffers from
Prayagraj: A few days ago, during a promotional event, Salman Khan revealed that he suffers from trigeminal neuralgia, a rare and intensely painful nerve condition. His candid confession shines a spotlight on this crippling, often overlooked nerve disorder. Bringing a sigh of hope for those suffering from this dreaded ailment in and around Prayagraj, for the first time, the doctors of the neurosurgery department at Swaroop Rani Nehru Hospital, affiliated with Motilal Nehru Medical College, successfully treated a 23-year-old woman patient suffering from this unbearable pain for the last 24 months. The patient was treated with the latest radio frequency ablation technique. "On examination, it was found that she was suffering from trigeminal neuralgia, in which the face starts tingling due to the formation of a lump in a vein of the brain, and one experiences severe headache, which is not cured by any normal medicine," said hospital's media in-charge Dr Santosh Kumar Singh. He said that the patient was sent to the pain clinic of the medical college, where interventional pain physician Dr Abhijeet Mohite attended her. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Up to 70% off | Libas Purple Days Sale Libas Undo He advised a radio frequency ablation procedure. In this technique, a special device is passed from a place called foramen ovale to that nerve of the brain (trigeminal ganglion) and it is numbed, which gives immediate relief to the patient. "This procedure was available only in special centres of metros till now. The first successful use of this technique in Prayagraj is being considered a unique achievement in the field of pain relief in the medical world," said Dr Singh. "Treatment of a complex and painful disease like trigeminal neuralgia has now become possible in Prayagraj. This achievement of our Pain Clinic is not only important from a technical point of view, but it will also free the regional patients from dependence on metros," said chief superintendent and head of the department of anaesthesia, Dr Neelam Singh. In 2011, just a few days before the release of the movie Bodyguard, Salman Khan underwent surgery in the US. Khan was suffering from trigeminal neuralgia, which was causing acute pain in his head, cheeks, and jaw for several years, the actor revealed later. The disease originates from the trigeminal nerve, the largest of the cranial nerves, and plays a key role in sending pain, touch, and temperature sensations from the face to the brain. Trigeminal neuralgia is often described as one of the most severe types of pain experienced. Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is not mere discomfort, but a chronic pain disorder marked by sudden, electric shock-like pain along the trigeminal nerve—our face's sensory lifeline. Simple acts—chewing, speaking, even a light breeze—can trigger searing agony. Medical experts warn TN ranks among the most intense pain disorders, yet public awareness remains scant. Salman's frank admission thrusts this often-neglected condition into the spotlight, urging timely diagnosis and treatment for others who might suffer in silence.

Karen Pirie, based on the Val McDermid Inspector Karen Pirie novels, is returning to screens in just hours with a second season The ITV detective drama Karen Pirie is set to grace our TV screens once again in mere hours, as it rolls out its second instalment. Launched in 2022, the series draws from the pages of Val McDermid's Inspector Karen Pirie novels and features Outlander's Lauren Lyle in a robust leading performance. She plays a young, fearless Scottish investigator "with a quick mouth and a tenacious desire for the truth".

Scripted by Emer Kenny and crafted by the minds behind Line of Duty and Bodyguard, Karen Pirie makes a much-anticipated comeback for season two, inspired by McDermid's second book in her literary sequence, A Darker Domain, reports the Express. In anticipation of the new episodes, Lauren expressed: "I'm thrilled that we will continue the life of our fearless young detective Karen Pirie, and of course, her bumbag. I've known for a while how well the show has gone down behind the scenes so it's been a joy to see audiences want more." She went on to say: "It's a creative honour to work alongside Emer Kenny with the backbone of Val McDermid's story. Season 1 was incredibly exciting building an original character we hadn't seen before. I look forward to getting the gang back together and finally being able to answer the question: 'Please say there will be a season 2?' with an 'Oh yes.'" For those eagerly awaiting, here is what you need to know about the upcoming season two. When does Karen Pirie air on ITV and how can I watch? Karen Pirie season two will air on Sunday, July 20, with the first episode premiering at 8pm on ITV1. All episodes will be available to stream on ITVX. Who is in the cast of Karen Pirie season 2? Lauren Lyle will return alongside series one stars including Sex Education actor Chris Jenks, Timestalker's Zach Wyatt, EastEnders actor Steve John Shepherd, Emer Kenny and Rakhee Thakrar.

The cast also includes Julia Brown, Mark Rowley, Kat Ronney, Conor Berry, Stuart Campbell, Jamie Michie, Madeleine Worrall, Jack Stewart, Thoren Ferguson, and Helen Katamba, James Fleet, Tom Mannion, and Tommaso Basili. How many episodes are in Karen Pirie season 2? Just like the first season, series two will have three episodes, titled A Darker Domain: Part 1, 2 and 3. The official synopsis reads: "After her bittersweet success in series one, Karen has been promoted to Detective Inspector and seemingly given the authority she has long been fighting for. "Just as she's getting into the swing of her powerful new role, she is assigned an infamous unsolved case that will put her under intense scrutiny; from her boss, from the media, and ultimately, from sinister forces that would rather the past stayed in the past. "The 1984 case of Catriona and Adam Grant has confounded investigators and intrigued the public like no other. Catriona, the charming young heiress to a vast oil fortune, and her two year old son Adam, were brutally kidnapped at gunpoint outside a fish and chip shop in Fife. "The ransom notes that followed stirred up an uncontrollable press storm, but when the culprits fell silent, the police faltered, and Catriona and Adam were never seen again. "Now, a man's body has been discovered, with indisputable links to the original kidnap. With the first piece of evidence in decades, Karen must assemble an unbeatable team alongside her sincere and lovable sidekick DC Jason 'Mint' Murray (Chris Jenks) and the brilliant - but romantically complicated - DS Phil Parhatka (Zach Wyatt). "With the international renown of the kidnap and the constant pressure from Catriona's father, Sir Broderick Grant (James Cosmo), the team take on the biggest challenge of their careers to date. "As Karen delves deeper into what happened in the autumn of 1984, political grudges and painful secrets reveal themselves, and it soon becomes clear... the past is far from dead." Karen Pirie season 2 will air from Sunday 20th July 2025 on ITV1 and ITVX.
