Trigeminal neuralgia is a rare condition causing sudden, severe facial pain, often triggered unpredictably and lasting for seconds, minutes, and even longer.
Trigeminal neuralgia affects around 8 in every 100,000 people in the UK, with a higher prevalence in women than men, and it typically begins between the ages of 50 and 60. Trigeminal neuralgia is a chronic condition primarily affecting the trigeminal nerve, which is responsible for facial sensation. This condition is known for its intense, sharp, and often debilitating pain, which can strike unexpectedly. The pain can be isolated to one side of the face or, in some cases, affect both sides.
Common causes include a blood vessel pressing on the nerve or nerve damage, often related to conditions like multiple sclerosis. Some sufferers experience pain multiple times a day, making even the simplest tasks unbearable. Each flare-up can vary from a few seconds to several minutes or longer.
"I’ve seen firsthand how tough Trigeminal Neuralgia can be. One day you’re managing fine, the next, even talking or eating feels impossible. That’s why I’m here – to help out when it all feels too much. Whether it’s making a meal, doing some housework, or just being there when you need someone to take you to appointments, we’ll get through it together. It’s all about making sure you can live as comfortably as possible at home."
Family members may find it difficult to provide consistent care since Trigeminal Neuralgia often fluctuates in severity or enters remission. You may not need support every day, but during flare-ups, our carers' can help with daily tasks like meal preparation, housework, and attending medical appointments. If speaking or swallowing becomes difficult, carers can assist with making phone calls, attending appointments, and ensuring you stay on your medication routines.
While personal care isn't typically required unless other health issues are present, our services are adaptable. Also, your care plan can be adjusted as your needs change. Whether you need help during a bad period or are experiencing remission, our award-winning team at Tiggo Care will work with you, your family, and your GP to ensure the right level of support is always available.

At Tiggo Care we understand how precious your loved one is to you and how unique they are. We also appreciate how overwhelming it can be to research and source the most suitable type of care.
We fundamentally believe that there is no ‘one size fits all’ care package and like to work with you and your loved one to understand your specific requirements. We’ll then create a tailored care package and match your relative with their ideal carer.
Unlike some other care providers, we are fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission. This means we are regularly inspected, rated and audited to ensure we are a safe, effective, caring, responsive and well led organisation, committed to delivering the best possible care.
We’re also proud members of the Homecare Association, the U.K’s membership body for home care providers, which holds organisations to a high set of standards and requests them to abide by a strict code of practice
At Tiggo Care, all of our carers undergo a rigorous recruitment and induction process. They are fully vetted and background checked, with all references followed up. Our carers undertake their training on the best eLearning system currently available within the UK care market, ensuring they are well placed to deliver the best possible service. Specialist training courses such as moving and handling, medications and basic life support are also completed by our carers face to face, as we feel these courses are more effective when delivered in person.
