Trigeminal Neuralgia: A Few Things You Can Try at Home Trigeminal neuralgia can cause sudden, intense facial pain that can be triggered by things as simple as touching your face, chewing, brushing your teeth, or even a breeze.
If you’re dealing with symptoms like these, here are a few simple things you can try at home to help minimize irritation:
• Avoid known triggers when possible
• Try gentle warmth or a cool compress—whichever feels better
• Choose softer foods if chewing aggravates symptoms
• Protect your face from cold air or wind
• Pay attention to positions or activities that seem to make things worse
These tips aren’t a substitute for proper evaluation or medical treatment, but they may help you manage symptoms between appointments.

If you’re dealing with facial pain and aren’t sure where to start, an evaluation may be worthwhile.
