4Possible Triggers of Trigeminal Neuralgia
Certain activities would trigger an attack or bout of pain in people with trigeminal neuralgia. These include chewing, smiling, brushing the teeth, laughing, talking, shaving, touching the face, exposing the face to cold air, drinking, eating, putting on makeup, or washing the face. In general, it can be hard to avoid all of these triggers at first. But when you develop a routine or habit, managing the symptoms can be much simpler, especially with the help of your family members or friends. [4]
