Trigeminal Neuralgia
A chronic pain condition affecting the trigeminal nerve, causing intense, electric shock-like facial pain.
Trigeminal neuralgia causes sudden, severe, electric-shock-like facial pain triggered by routine activities such as eating or touching the face. Carbamazepine is the first-line treatment; baclofen and tizanidine are used as adjuncts or alternatives. Surgical options are available for refractory cases.
