The sensation of our face and scalp;the neural function of the mucosa layers lining our teeth, eyes, nose and oral cavity, as well as the chewing muscles, are transmitted from the brainstem, which we call “Trigeminal Nerve” It provides the exiting nerve. They are located symmetrically on both sides of our head.
This nerve; has three main branches going to the eyes, upper jaw and lower jaw. Essentially; It consists of sensory fibers that function in this direction to detect touch, pain and temperature.
Trigeminal Neuralgia is a disease of this nerve whose cause is unknown; It starts very suddenly and causes very severe pain (like lightning) along any of its three main branches. This pain is unbearable. It is very simple, such as eating, brushing teeth, swallowing, shaving the beard or touching the face. During movements, a very sudden and unbearable pain occurs, as if it were a lightning strike. This pain crisis may last for a very short time, or it lasts for hours or even days, making the patient unbearable by breaking his resistance.
