Trigeminal neuralgia is a condition that causes sudden, severe facial pain, often described as sharp, electric shock-like jolts. This happens when the trigeminal nerve, which carries sensations from your face to your brain, becomes irritated or damaged. Even simple everyday actions like chewing, smiling, talking, or brushing your teeth can trigger intense pain. The good news is that there are effective treatments available, including medications and, in some cases, surgical procedures that can help manage and relieve the pain. If you or someone you know is dealing with unexplained facial pain, don’t ignore it, getting the right diagnosis and care can make a big difference.
