   Purpose, Prevention & Protection

   • I understand that trigeminal neuralgia is caused by irritation of the trigeminal nerve in my face
   • I understand this condition causes sudden, severe, electric-shock–like facial pain
   • I know the pain can be triggered by normal activities like chewing, talking, brushing teeth, or touching the face
   • I work to identify and avoid personal triggers that start pain episodes
   • I report changes in pain pattern, frequency, or severity to my provider
