La neuralgia del trigémino es una afección crónica que afecta el nervio trigémino que conecta la cara con el cerebro. Cepillarse los dientes, sonreír, comer y cualquier toque en la cara puede causar episodios extremos de dolor. Los síntomas generalmente progresan desde breves episodios de dolor hasta episodios más prolongados. Las causas son el envejecimiento y afecciones como la esclerosis múltiple asociada con daño a los nervios.
