What is Trigeminal Neuralgia?

Trigeminal Neuralgia is not a common disorder, but is also not as uncommon as you think. Trigeminal Neuralgia is a type of facial pain that affects half the face and has a very characteristic feature, like sharp and shooting pain. We’re not really sure what the incidence is in Singapore. There is no exact data, but around 0.03% of the population has it. So, maybe several thousand patients have it per year.
