Understanding Trigeminal Neuralgia
Trigeminal neuralgia is a chronic pain disorder affecting the trigeminal nerve, responsible for facial sensation. It is characterized by sudden, severe, electric shock-like pain episodes.
The pain is often triggered by routine activities such as chewing, talking, or even touching the face. It is usually caused by compression of the nerve, leading to abnormal pain signaling.
