Trigeminal Neuralgia (Facial Nerve Pain) Trigeminal neuralgia causes facial pain. It is a disorder arising from the trigeminal nerve, which carries sensory information from the face. The pain often leads to sleep deprivation, anxiety, and depression. Trigeminal neuralgia can be sometimes controlled with medication. If the pain is caused by an artery pressing on the root of the nerve, a neurosurgeon can perform surgery to move the artery.
