Summary:
PUNE, India, Nov.
30, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Trigeminal neuralgia is a disorder of the fifth cranial nerve called the trigeminal nerve.
With blood vessel pressing against the trigeminal nerve, the condition leads to unbearable pain on the face, cheek and one side of the face, normally on the upper side of the chin and upwards and backwards till the ear level.
The progressive disorder gets worse due to elongation of blood vessels and subsequent crowding near the nerves and folding in a limited available space.
This causes hitting pulsation which destroys myelin, an insulating layer around the nerve.
The character of this myelin changes at and around the region where the nerve enters into the brain.
