What is it?
What Is Trigeminal Neuralgia?
Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a chronic facial pain condition caused by irritation of the trigeminal nerve, the nerve that carries sensation from your face to your brain.
- Sudden, electric-shock-like facial pain
- Triggered by chewing, brushing teeth, wind or touch
- Often one-sided, in seconds-long bursts
- Profound impact on eating, speaking and daily life
Our story
Inspired by a real journey
This platform was inspired by a mother who has lived with trigeminal neuralgia for over a decade.
Her journey is one many TN patients will recognize: years of unexplained pain, multiple medications and treatments, surgery to ease the worst of it, the slow road of recovery, and the quiet work of learning to live alongside a condition that rarely lets you forget it's there.
We share her experience anonymously, in service of a bigger goal: that no one going through TN should feel alone.
