Trigeminal neuralgia is recognized as one of the most painful afflictions known to man. It is a disorder of the trigeminal nerve, which is primarily responsible for transmitting sensations from the face to the brain. The illness causes sudden, acute bouts of facial pain, often untouched by pain relievers.

This debilitating condition usually occurs when pressure is put on the nerve, causing it to malfunction. This breakdown can be due to aging, multiple sclerosis, injury, stroke or other traumas.
