Trigeminal neuralgia is more common in people with MS.
Trigeminal neuralgia is often caused by the compression of the trigeminal nerve, typically by nearby blood vessels, which can lead to degeneration of the nerve's protective myelin sheath. This compression disrupts normal nerve signaling, resulting in episodes of severe facial pain. Other potential causes include multiple sclerosis, tumors, or injuries that can damage the nerve. The exact mechanism involves abnormal electrical discharges in the nerve, leading to the characteristic sharp, shooting pains.

The trigeminal nerve is CN V (cranial nerve V)
Cranial Nerve 5 (trigeminal), division V3 contains a buccal nerve, a lingual nerve and an inferior alveolar nerve.
The roman numeral "V" represents the trigeminal nerve.
The facial nerve is not a branch of the trigeminal nerve. It is a separate cranial nerve responsible for facial movement and sensation.

The trigeminal nerve is responsible for transmitting sensory information from the face to the brain. In trigeminal neuralgia, this nerve becomes irritated or compressed, causing severe facial pain.
