Trigeminal neuralgia is a disorder of the trigeminal nerve that is characterized by painful and recurrent episodes at the facial level. Patients refer to this pain as a short-lived electric shock.
The treatment is pharmacological, but surgical treatment should be considered if the pain is not controlled or when the side effects of the drugs are not tolerated.
