Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The pain due to teitze's syndrome is commonly neuronal in nature. If regular pain killers are not helping her then she can consider alternative therap[ies like acupuncture or opioid analgesics after consulting her physician.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
