Abstract

Out of all the cranial nerves “Trigeminal Nerve” is the fifth cranial nerve. Trigeminal nerve possesses both the components i.e. mixed components as well as sensitive components that’s why trigeminal nerve is known as a mixed nerve. The sensitive component of the trigeminal nerve takes up the sensation from most of the part of the face and the mucous membrane to the central nervous system and that’s why it is responsible for the disease which is known as trigeminal neuralgia. The characteristic feature of the trigeminal neuralgia is the sudden onset of pain which is sharp and lacerating, and that may last from few of the seconds to few minutes. Trigeminal neuralgia more frequently affects the female as compared to the male.
 

Keywords: Pain, Pain, Trigeminal neuralgia, Sudden onset of pain, Maxillary and mandibular nerve.
