Step 1
Trigeminal neuralgia is a chronic pain that affects the trigeminal nerve.
The trigeminal nerve also known as tic douloureux involves the pain of the lower face and jaw, it sometimes affects the area around the nose and above the eye.
The pain like the intense, stabbing, electric shock is caused by irritation of the trigeminal nerve. It usually is limited to one side of the face.
The trigeminal nerve is the 5th of 12 pairs of cranial nerves in the head.
It is the nerve that provides sensation to the face. One trigeminal nerve runs to the right side of the head, while the other runs to the left. Each of these nerves has 3 distinct branches.
