Trigeminal neuralgia is a condition that causes painful sensations similar to an electric shock on one side of the face. This chronic pain condition 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. It is regarded as one of the most painful disorders known to medicine. Thanks for visiting my Fundraising Page for Fighting TN: Walk Ride Run 2023!
