It is the Trigeminal Nerve
The corneal reflex will not test for injuries to the facial nerve (cranial nerve VII) as it primarily assesses the integrity of the trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V) and the ophthalmic branch of the trigeminal nerve.
The trigeminal nerve is CN V (cranial nerve V)
trigeminal neuralgia is inflamation of trigeminal ganglion & causes pain over distribution of trigeminal nerve
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.
These drugs slow down the nerve signals at certain nerve terminals, which eases the pain
The facial nerve is not a branch of the trigeminal nerve. It is a separate cranial nerve responsible for facial movement and sensation.
is it the trigeminal nerve
five
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.
The Trigeminal Nerve is located in a structure in the brain stem called the pons.
