Maybe you even know someone who has (TN), and they have not been diagnosed. 10% of MS patients will be diagnosed with Trigeminal Neuralgia.
Trigeminal Neuralgia (TN) has been universally described by medical professionals and sufferers alike as the most painful condition known to mankind. (TN) patients are likely to be in so much pain they can't speak, work, or socialize with others.
Notes to Request and Editors:
What is Trigeminal Neuralgia?
Definition Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) 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. Although remissions are common, trigeminal neuralgia usually is a long-term condition. It can be triggered by such stimuli as heat or cold, windy hitting the face, chewing, yawning, or talking. Because the sudden, sharp pain causes the individual to wince, the condition is known as Tic Douloureux or painful twitch.
