Trigeminal neuralgia, also known as tic douloureux, is a condition that causes intense pain similar to an electric shock on one side of the face. It affects the trigeminal nerve (the 5th cranial nerve), which carries signals from the face to the brain. Trigeminal neuralgia can be long-lasting, a chronic pain condition. It's more common in women and people older than 50 but anyone can get it at any age.
