About Trigeminal Neuralgia

• Trigeminal neuralgia, also known as tic douloureux, is a condition that causes intense pain similar to an electric shock on one side of the face. 
• Cause:
  • It affects the trigeminal nerve, which carries signals from the face to the brain. 
  • It happens when a blood vessel puts pressure on the trigeminal nerve. 
  • The pain comes suddenly and can be triggered by simple activities like eating, brushing teeth, or even smiling.
• People with trigeminal neuralgia may at first experience short, mild episodes of pain. But the condition can get worse, causing longer periods of pain that happen more often. 
• It’s more common in women and people older than 50.
• It is a chronic disorder, and the pain can be difficult to manage, often needing medication or even surgery.
• It is often called the “suicide disease” because of how painful it can be.
