What Is Trigeminal Neuralgia?
Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a chronic neuropathic facial pain syndrome that involves the trigeminal nerve- the fifth cranial nerve, which is responsible for sensation in the face. Pain is often presented in paroxysms like quick, stabbing, electric shock-like bursts of pain lasting seconds to minutes It usually is unilateral (one-sided) and can be triggered by light stimuli such as talking, eating, brushing, washing the face or even from wind Patients may not have pain between paroxysms, or may have some dull ache or burning pain in their face (especially in atypical cases) Because TN can mimic dental or sinus pain, misdiagnosis is very common in the early phases of the disease. This is why it is crucial to see a Trigeminal Neuralgia Specialist early.
