Same thing: Neuralgia and neuropathy are often used interchangeably. Irritation of the trigeminal nerve causes pain and various other symptoms on one side of the face. There are various treatments, both medications, and otherwise. Some people can get complete relief of their symptoms. It's a good idea to find a caring pain management doc who can try various meds. Some get relief from cranial osteopathy.
