Tic deloreaux: Sensation on the face is handled by the tri-geminal nerve. Tri geminal neuralgia can cause severe facial pain. Spasms of facial pain occur that in french are called tic deloreaux. Patients with herpes lip sores can have herpes in the tri geminal nerve that can cause these pains. Medication and surgery may help.
