National Trigeminal Neuralgia Awareness Day
National Trigeminal Neuralgia Awareness Day, October 7th, brings support and education to the general public about a painful illness.
#trigeminalneuralgiaawarenessday
The trigeminal nerve is the largest of cranial nerves, and it is composed of 12 pairs of nerves that control various aspects of the facial. Trigeminal neuralgia can be triggered by pressure on the nerve, aging, or a condition that wears away the myelin, such as cerebral palsy. Injury or stroke are two other causes.
Many with trigeminal neuralgia may suffer severe pain in the face and jaw. Even minor stimulation can cause pain. The pain can be shooting or jabbing. Some sufferers have a burning sensation before an episode begins. The pain can be localized or widespread, and it will continue to deteriorate over time. It can also last a few minutes or days.
Although medical procedures such as surgery or medications may provide relief, the condition is becoming chronic over time.
The observance encourages us to wear teal in honor of those who suffer from this debilitating disease. The day is dedicated to raising the cause of science in the hopes of finding a cure. It also aims to raise hopes of advancing diagnosis and treatment procedures.
