Nerve Pain - Trigeminal Neuralgia, Sciatic
The most common type of neuralgia (nerve pain) is trigeminal neuralgia. Originating in the brain, pain signals are sent via the trigeminal nerve to the skin of the face and the surface of the eye. The pain is described as sharp electric-like spasms that last a few seconds or minutes. Attacks can be triggered by common daily activities such as brushing your teeth, shaving, chewing, drinking, eating or lightly touching the face.
