Trigeminal neuralgia is a chronic pain condition with episodes of excruciating, sudden, and stabbing pain. Typically, pain occurs on one side of the face, often triggered by simple activities like touching, chewing, brushing teeth, talking, or even a breeze. It lasts for
seconds to minutes. Between the two episodes, individuals may be symptom-free. Pain,
though short-lived, is so excruciating and intolerable that he or she may think of committing suicide. Hence the condition is infamously also called a suicidal disease, Management includes medications, such as tab. Carbamazepine, Pregabalin, and antidepressants.

In severe cases, surgical intervention like Radiofrequency lesions or Microvascular decompression of the trigeminal nerve (MVD) is done with excellent results. In MVD surgery the trigeminal nerve is exposed near the brain stem where a loop of an artery is found indenting and pulsating on the nerve causing episodic neuralgia. Once the nerve is relieved the relief in Trigeminal Neuralgia is dramatic and the patient experiences a new life. Usually the patient is discharged in 3-4 days.
