It can be triggered by activities of daily living such as eating, speaking, washing the face, shaving and brushing teeth.

Facial sensibility of patients with trigeminal neuralgias
Clinical Neurology and Neurosurgery, 2011Idiopathic trigeminal neuralgia (ITN) is an excruciating shock-like paroxysmal pain restricted to the trigeminal area of innervation, with discrete loss of sensibility (thermal, tactile and painful). Trigeminal postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) is a neuropathic pain at the trigeminal territory that persists after Herpes zoster infection, which also is ...

Treatment of Facial Pain and Neuralgias
2011There are many pharmacological treatment options for classical trigeminal neuralgia. When those fail or are not tolerated, more invasive interventions are available. Other cranial neuralgias include occipital, glossopharyngeal, nasociliary, nervus intermedius, and supraorbital neuralgias and may be more challenging to diagnose and treat. Other causes

Trigeminal Neuralgia and Facial Pain Imaging
Current Pain and Headache Reports, 2015The trigeminal nerve or fifth cranial nerve has an extensive distribution in the head and face. It is the source for pain conduction and thereby is often implicated in a variety of disorders including inflammatory and neoplastic diseases. To determine the disease source, understanding the trigeminal nerve anatomy is essential, and further being able to

Trigeminal neuralgia and facial pain
Seminars in Pain Medicine, 2004Trigeminal neuralgia is a rare form of neuropathic pain that results in sudden, usually unilateral, severe, brief stabbing, recurrent pains in the distribution of one or more branches of the fifth cranial nerve. Diagnosis of all orofacial pain is principally on careful historic assessment because there are few investigations with high specificity and ...

Chapter 38 Trigeminal neuralgia and other facial neuralgias
2006Publisher Summary This chapter explores that trigeminal neuralgia (tic douloureux) is one of the best known facial pain conditions because of its distinctive characteristics and good responsiveness to many treatments. Clinical examination reveals trigger zones in the central mask of the face and minimal sensory loss. It reviews that TN tends to occur

Trigeminal neuralgia and facial nerve paralysis
European Radiology, 2005The trigeminal nerve is the largest of the cranial nerves. It provides sensory input from the face and motor innervation to the muscles of mastication. The facial nerve is the cranial nerve with the longest extracranial course, and its main functions include motor innervation to the muscles of facial expression, sensory control of lacrimation and ...
