Because of the variety of treatment options available, having trigeminal neuralgia doesn't necessarily mean you're doomed to a life of pain. Doctors usually can effectively manage trigeminal neuralgia with medications, injections or surgery.
Trigeminal neuralgia, also known as tic douloureux, is a painful condition which affects the face. The trigeminal nerve provides all sensation, including pain, to the face, teeth, mouth, sinuses, meninges (coverings of the brain) and blood vessels of the head. There are two trigeminal nerves, one on each side of the head, and each has three branches supplying the upper, middle and lower parts of the face.
