Overview Trigeminal neuralgia is a chronic pain condition that affects the trigeminal nerve, which carries sensation from your face to your brain. If you have trigeminal neuralgia, even mild stimulation of your face — such as from brushing your teeth or putting on makeup — may trigger a jolt of excruciating pain. You may initially experience short, mild attacks. But trigeminal neuralgia can progress and cause longer, more-frequent bouts of searing pain. Trigeminal neuralgia affects women more often than men, and it's more likely to occur in people who are older than 50.

Trigeminal Neuralgia Trigeminal neuralgia is inflammation of the trigeminal nerve, causing intense facial pain. It is also known as tic douloureax because the intense pain can cause patients to contort their face into a grimace and cause the head to move away from the pain.The obvious movement is known as a tic.ypoglossal. Swallowing, speech articulation. The trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V) is so named because it has three (tri) branches responsible for face sensation; one branch also regulates chewing. 1  The ophthalmic branch (V 1) is responsible for sensation from the scalp, forehead, upper eyelid and tip of the nose.

Postherpetic neuralgia is a persistent nerve pain that often occurs as a result of shingles.ostherpetic neuralgia is a complication of shingles. There are two main types of pain, nociceptive and non-nociceptive pain.
