Trigeminal neuralgia, also known as tic douloureux, is a chronic pain condition characterized by sudden, severe, unilateral facial pain often triggered by light touch. The pain typically affects the maxillary and mandibular divisions of the trigeminal nerve and can lead to significant distress for patients. First-line treatments include carbamazepine and oxcarbazepine, with various second-line and alternative pharmacotherapies available, as well as interventional procedures for refractory cases.
