Trigeminal neuralgia is a chronic pain
condition involving the trigeminal nerve, which supplies sensation to the face.
The hallmark symptom is sudden, severe, stabbing or electric-shock-like pain,
typically lasting for seconds to a few minutes. This pain is often triggered by
stimuli such as touching the face, chewing, or even speaking. Other options
(e.g., paralysis or prolonged episodes) do not describe this condition
accurately.
