10 Causes of Trigeminal Neuralgia
Cause #7: Scleroderma
Scleroderma refers to a group of autoimmune disorders that can cause changes in the muscles, skin, vessels, and organs. The disease can involve the skin and other organs with symptoms of tiredness, thickened skin, stiffness, and cold extremities. While the cause is unknown, some think that it may be due to an abnormal immune response.
The risk factors of scleroderma include genetic factors, positive family history, and exposure to silica. Trigeminal neuralgia has also been observed in scleroderma patients.
