Trigeminal neuralgia (TN), also known as tic douloureux, is a disorder of the fifth cranial nerve (trigeminal nerve). We have two for each side of our face. However, TN affects only one side of the face.
Treatment for TN can be very expensive, with a studying showing that it cost USD3900-USD40,000 in the year of 2018 for sufferers in Taiwan.
There are several very famous people that suffer openly of this painful condition;
*Salman Khan (Bollywood)
*Travis Barker (Blink-182 drummer)
*Salma Hayek (Desperado)
*Marcia Cross (Desperate Housewives)
*Kristin Chenoweth (Glee)
*George Clooney (ER)
*Steve Kerr (Head coach Golden State Warrior)
*Joey Kramer (Aerosmith drummer)
