Trigeminal neuralgia – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1803581281
Trigeminal neuralgia is a manifestation of orofacial neuropathic pain restricted to one or more divisions of the trigeminal nerve. The pain is recurrent, abrupt in onset and termination, triggered by innocuous stimuli and typically compared to an electric shock or described as shooting or stabbing. Some patients experience continuous pain between these painful paroxysms.
