　　[Distinguishing Trigeminal Neuralgia from Other Diseases]

　　Trigeminal neuralgia, also known as "painful spasm," is increasingly common in modern society. Due to the similarities in symptoms between trigeminal neuralgia and other facial pain disorders, trigeminal neuralgia is often not given enough attention in the early stages of the disease.

　　Trigeminal neuralgia usually occurs in middle-aged and elderly people, with a higher incidence on the right side. The characteristic of this disease is the sudden, severe, lightning-like, cutting, burning, persistent, and intolerable pain in the distribution area of the trigeminal nerve in the head and face. Talking, washing the face, brushing teeth, or even a gentle breeze can trigger intense pain. The pain lasts for seconds or minutes, and it occurs periodically with intervals, similar to normal individuals.

　　However, most people are not aware of the symptoms of trigeminal neuralgia, so it is important to have a basic understanding of the symptoms and seek timely treatment in order to address the root cause of the problem.
