See doctor: trigeminal neuralgia can be treated with medication to control the discomfort if that is what she has. A doctor will examine her, and do some tests and put her on medication and monitor the effect of the medication on her blood and see how it is working.

Trigeminal Neuralgia: Has she has an MRI (rule out MS, or compressive pathology)? How was diagnosis made? This may be a debilitating condition, but she may achieve relief with certain medications (Tricyclics, anticonvulsants), injections or surgery as the surgeon (ENT or neurosurg) sees fit. Seek expert medical help for your wife. Her quality of life depends on it.
