What is trigeminal neuralgia? Trigeminal neuralgia, also referred to as tic douloureaux, is a condition defined by intense facial pain that can disrupt your normal, everyday activities. Activities as simple as chewing, talking, smiling, brushing your teeth or shaving can trigger brief bouts of intense pain. Though these painful episodes are short-lived, the pain can return sporadically (on and off). Or you might also experience constant pain that isn’t as severe. Typically, trigeminal neuralgia is unilateral (meaning it only affects one side of your face). If it’s bilateral, both sides will be affected, though not at the same time. Bilateral trigeminal neuralgia is also very rare. Interestingly, the right side of the face is usually more affected by this condition than the left. What are the symptoms of trigeminal neuralgia? Certain symptoms are contained to the cheek and jaw area, including: Numbness and a tingling sensation. Short bursts of severe pain. Regular aches and pains. Other symptoms include: Short-term jolts of pain; a stabbing or electrical type feeling. Out-of-nowhere episodes brought on by simple activities like chewing or talking. A burning sensation all over one side of the face.
