Trigeminal Ganglion

The trigeminal ganglion is a collection of nerve cells located in the brain, involved in the sensation of touch and pain in the face and mouth. This ganglion is a major component in the cranial nerve system and its activation can cause pain, itching and other sensations in the face. It is also involved in facial expressions and the ability to taste food. As a result, trigeminal ganglion has a wide range of clinical and therapeutic applications, including treatment of chronic pain, itching, facial nerve paralysis, and other facial and neurological disorders.
