What is trigeminal neuralgia?
According to the Mayo Clinic, Trigeminal neuralgia, also called tic douloureux, is when the function of the trigeminal nerve is impaired. The problem is usually contact between a normal blood vessel (in this case, an artery or vein) and the trigeminal nerve located at the base of the brain. This contact puts pressure on the nerve and causes it to malfunction.

What can cause this disease?
According to information from the Mayo Clinic, Although compression by a blood vessel is one of the most common causes of trigeminal neuralgia, there are many other possible causes. Some may be related to multiple sclerosis or a similar disorder that damages the myelin sheath that protects certain nerves. Trigeminal neuralgia can also be caused by a tumor that compresses the trigeminal nerve.
Some people may get trigeminal neuralgia due to brain injury or other abnormalities. In other cases, surgical injuries, stroke, or facial trauma may be responsible for trigeminal neuralgia.
