| − | The condition known as [http://www.trigeminalneuralgia.us/app/ trigeminal neuralgia] falls under the neuropathic classification. Unlike other health conditions that exist in the body, the patient could not have Trigeminal neuralgia without him or her knowing about it. That is because it involves a lot of pain, lots and lots of it, that the patient could not ignore it.

| − | It would interest you to know that Trigeminal neuralgia goes by a lot of names. Among them is the name 'tic doulourex'. Prosopalgia is yet another. Another name would be Fothergill's disease. However, since the name is Trigeminal neuralgia, that means it affects mainly the trigeminal nerve. You might have noticed the use of the prefix 'tri', meaning it has something to do with the number three. The 'three' in this case refers to the three branches of the trigeminal nerve, namely the ophthalmic, the mandibular, and the maxillary branches. When the condition arises, it means one, two, or even all three of these branches have been compromised. Since the nerves are found on the face, that is where the pain manifests itself. It affects the areas where the eyes, ears, nose, and jaws are located. In some cases, even the forehead is affected.

There were even kids who are below 5 years old who have been diagnosed to have Trigeminal neuralgia. However, generally, people who are older, particularly those who are over the age of 50, are the ones who suffer the symptoms of this condition.
