10 Causes of Trigeminal Neuralgia
Cause #1: Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis is a disease where demyelination of the nerve cells in the spinal cord and brain occurs. This results in the disruption of communication in the nervous system resulting in mental, physical, and psychiatric symptoms. Examples include double vision, muscle weakness, blindness in one eye, and difficulty with coordination.
Trigeminal neuralgia is one of the early symptoms observed in multiple sclerosis. Since multiple sclerosis is a disease that causes demyelination, myelin deterioration of the trigeminal nerve can result in trigeminal neuralgia.
