Abstract

Trigeminal neuralgia, traditionally called tic douloureux, is a chronic neuropathic pain disorder characterized by spontaneous and elicited paroxysms of electric shock–like or stabbing pain in a region of the face. A poor quality of life and suicide in severe cases have been attributed to the disorder. A classification of trigeminal neuralgia has been adopted by several professional societies and forms the basis of its description in the International Classification of Diseases, 11th Revision (ICD-11)
