Today is Geniculate Neuralgia Awareness Day 🎗️

Geniculate neuralgia is a rare type of nerve pain that happens when a branch of the facial nerve, the nervus intermedius, becomes damaged or compressed.

Today is Trigeminal Neuralgia Awareness Day 🎗️

Trigeminal Neuralgia (TN) is an example of neuropathic pain, arising from the trigeminal nerve (the fifth cranial nerve). New cases of TN affect 4 to 5 of every 100,000 people in the United States each year.

TN episodes may start as short, mild attacks and progress and cause longer, more-frequent bouts of searing pain. TN pain is described as sudden and intense, with patient ratings of 9 out of 10, or more, although less severe attacks can occur. TN pain is often describes as stabbing, shooting, sharp, piercing or electrical in nature. Pain can occur almost anywhere between the jaw and forehead, including inside the mouth.

International Trigeminal Neuralgia Awareness Day was first commemorated in 2013 by supporters of the cause. In 2017, a resolution was put forth in the US House of Representatives to officially recognize October 7 as the national day.

This date is recognized and observed around the world, not as a day of celebration, but a day we mark to acknowledge the many members of our community who suffer from debilitating facial pain. You are not alone.
