Pain

Trigeminal Neuralgia

Trigeminal neuralgia is a chronic pain condition that affects the trigeminal nerve, which carries sensation from your face to your brain.

Coping and Support

Living with trigeminal neuralgia can be difficult. The disorder may affect your interaction with friends and family, your productivity at work and the overall quality of your life.

You may find encouragement and understanding in a support group. Group members often know about the latest treatments and tend to share their own experiences. If you are interested, your doctor may be able to recommend a group in your area.
