Trigeminal neuralgia – also known as TIC DOULOUREUX, is a painful, chronic condition involving the trigeminal nerve. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are two separate trigeminal nerves, one on each side of the face. These nerves are responsible for carrying the sensation of pain and other sensation from face to brain<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pain can be brought on by mild stimulation of the face, such as brushing teeth or shaving. TN may initially have short, mild attacks but over the time patients may experience longer, a more frequent bout of severe pain. Trigeminal neuralgia<\/a> affects women more often than men. In some cases, the condition becomes progressive and pain is always present. There are treatments available to alleviate the debilitating pain but trigeminal neuralgia cannot always be cured. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Classification <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Trigeminal neuralgia is broadly classified into four types : <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Trigeminal neuralgia<\/u>: In this condition, the pain from TN travels to other parts of the face through the brain.<\/li>
  2. Glossopharyngeal neuralgia<\/u>: Very uncommon and the pain is felt on the throat and neck.<\/li>
  3. Occipital neuralgia<\/u>: In this condition, the pain is in the neck and at base<\/g> of the skull due to the inflammation and injury in the nerves which run from scalp to spinal cord.<\/li>
  4. Prostherpetic<\/g> neuralgia<\/u>: The complication is due to the viral infection characterized by blisters and painful rashes. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Prevalence and Incidence <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    It is reported that 150000 people are diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia every year. While the disorder can occur at any age, it is more common with the people over the age of 50.
    Hypertension<\/a> and multiple sclerosis also are the risk<\/g> factors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Causes <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The pain associated with trigeminal neuralgia represents an irritation of the nerve. The cause of the pain usually is due to contact between a healthy artery or vein and the trigeminal nerve at the base of the skull. This places pressure on the nerve as it enters the brain and causes the nerve to misfire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In many cases, the cause of trigeminal neuralgia is unknown and causes include <\/p>\n\n\n\n
