Do you experience pain while brushing your teeth or while putting on makeup? This intense, stabbing, electric shock-like pain can be due to a condition called trigeminal neuralgia (TN). It is sometimes known as tic douloureux, which means ‘painful tic.’ Trigeminal neuralgia is caused by irritation of the trigeminal nerve, which starts at the ear and extends to the forehead, cheeks, & lower jaw. The pain is usually limited to one side (unilateral), but can affect both sides (bilateral) of the face & can be triggered by eating or brushing teeth. One of the causes of this may be a blood vessel causing pressure on the root of the trigeminal nerve. According to studies, women are more likely to experience TN than men. Among men, the ones who are beyond their 50s are more prone to developing this condition. Homeopathic Medicines for Trigeminal Neuralgia can controls the underlying nerve damage, thereby relieving the condition.
Mapping the Nerves
Learning about trigeminal neuralgia helps to know a little about how the affected nerves are laid out.

- Ophthalmic Division: Controls your eye, upper eyelid, & forehead
- Maxillary Division: Controls your lower eyelid, cheek, nostril, upper lip, & upper gum
- Mandibular Division: It runs your jaw, lower lip & gum, and some muscles used for chewing.

Types of Trigeminal Neuralgia
There are two main types of trigeminal neuralgia:
- Type 1 (Typical) Trigeminal Neuralgia – You’ll likely experience sharp, intense, & sporadic pain episodes, if you are suffering from type-1 Trigeminal Neuralgia. Moreover, you may also experience pain and/or a burning sensation all over your face for a few seconds to two minutes. Despite pain-free breaks between episodes, this can continue for up to two hours.
- Type 2 (Atypical) Trigeminal Neuralgia – There will be less pain and intensity, but it will be more widespread. There will likely be constant pain, particularly stabbing and/or burning sensations, as well as persistent aches. There is a higher likelihood that you will not be able to control your symptoms in atypical trigeminal neuralgia.
