World Landmarks Light Up Teal to brings awareness to the most excruciating pain to humankind
 
October 7th 2016 marks the  4th International Trigeminal Neuralgia Awareness Day, an annual campaign to Light Up Teal that increases awareness, while providing education and funding for research.
 
#TrigeminalNeuralgia
The definition of Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is that it is a very painful disorder of the portion of the fifth cranial nerve (trigeminal nerve) that supplies sensation to the face. It is characterized by recurrent electric shock-like (paroxysmal) pains in one or more branches of the trigeminal nerve (maxillary, mandibular, and/or ophthalmic branches), each supplying a different portion of the face. Severe facial pain can last from a second to 15 minutes or longer; some individuals may have up to 100 lightning-like bursts of stabbing pain in a day.
