What is Trigeminal Neuralgia?
Trigeminal Neuralgia is a chronic pain condition affecting the trigeminal nerve, which carries sensation from your face to your brain.
It is often described as:
- Sudden, sharp, electric shock-like pain
- Episodes lasting from seconds to minutes
- Pain triggered by simple activities like eating, talking, or brushing teeth
Common Symptoms
- Severe facial pain (usually on one side)
- Sudden shock-like or stabbing pain
- Pain triggered by touch, chewing, or speaking
- Recurrent episodes with pain-free intervals
- Increased sensitivity in facial areas
Causes of Trigeminal Neuralgia
- Compression of the trigeminal nerve by a blood vessel
- Aging-related changes
- Multiple sclerosis
- Tumors or structural abnormalities (rare cases)
