Understanding Trigeminal Neuralgia
What is Trigeminal Neuralgia?
Trigeminal neuralgia, also known as tic douloureux, is one of the most painful conditions known to medicine. It causes severe, stabbing, electric shock-like pain in the face, typically on one side. The pain is triggered by even mild stimuli like touching the face, chewing, speaking, or brushing teeth. It results from compression or damage to the trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V).
