Chewing, speaking or a light breeze on the face can trigger pain. Even light touch may be enough. An attack lasts between a few seconds and two minutes.
A blood vessel lying against the nerve root close to the brainstem can wear down the protective myelin sheath over time. The nerve then sends abnormal pain signals.
The first treatment approach is anticonvulsant medicine. Carbamazepine helps steady nerve membranes; for most people it makes attacks less frequent and less intense. It comes as 100, 200 and 400mg tablets. For the ingredient, see carbamazepine. It belongs to the neurology group. When medicine alone cannot control the pain, a specialist may discuss surgery such as microvascular decompression or stereotactic radiosurgery.

Prompt medical review is important if attacks suddenly worsen, if numbness, weakness or another new neurological symptom appears, or if treatment does not control the pain.
