RT Journal A1 Torpy JM, Rogers J, Golub RM T1 TRigeminal neuralgia JF JAMA JO JAMA YR 2013 FD March 13 VO 309 IS 10 SP 1058 OP 1058 DO 10.1001/2012.jama.10806 UL http://dx.doi.org/10.1001/2012.jama.10806 AB Trigeminal neuralgia is more common in people older than 50 years and tends to affect women more than men. It may occur in other family members. Researchers think that TN is caused by pressure on the trigeminal nerve from a blood vessel. Persons with TN may be treated by neurologists, medical doctors who specialize in the treatment of conditions affecting the nerves and the brain.
