Trigeminal neuralgia is a chronic condition that affects the trigeminal nerve connecting the face with the brain. Brushing teeth, smiling, eating and any touch to the face can cause extreme bouts of pain. Symptoms generally progress from short bouts of pain to longer episodes. Ageing and conditions like multiple sclerosis associated with nerve damage are causes.
