Which are the causes of Trigeminal Neuralgia?
See some of the causes of Trigeminal Neuralgia according to people who have experience in Trigeminal Neuralgia
Doctors say they have no ideal of causes.
I think having high stress for a long period of time might be a factor.

Shingles, blood vessels close to the trigeminal nerve. Trauma, tumours, blood clots and more.

Not sure what the causes is, i would like to know.

It is my belief that it is possible all of the listed causes. Genetics has played a big roll in my family's over all health and birth defects. Environmental reactions and sensitivities have been a cause of much sickness in my life. I have suffered from severe sinuses infections, bronchitis and pneumonia, from reactions to chemicals in the air that I breath since about age 25. I don't know yet what the medical science says concerning the cause, I would suspect it would be different for each case.

There is no known cause of Trigeminal Neuralgia. I have no idea what could be the cause, because it affects people of all ages, all races, and all places. Hopefully, with additional research we will learn the cause so that we may work to prevent this condition, or at least reduce the number of those inflicted.

Stress is the biggest trigger.genetics and environment could also be factors

The causes are endless it would seem, and not always able to be determined. Whether or not you have trigeminal neuralgia is more important to focus on.

Type 1 TN is caused by blood vessels or an artery pressing against the fifth cranial nerve or trigeminal nerve, resulting in excruciating facial pain that is electric shock like in nature or that leads to unbearable attacks resembling cluster headaches. Luckily, this type of TN can be successfully treated with MVD.
The cause of type 2 TN, however, is still unknown.
In some cases, TN is related to an underlying auto-immune disorder, such as MS, for example.
In very rare cases, type 1 TN is caused by a neoplasm (tumour), aneurysm or some vascular anomaly.

Damage to the Trigeminal Nerve
Blood vessels and other structures irritating the Trigeminal Nerve by impingement.

No cause at all. Or some kind of injury or dental work.

Unknown, some people have compression on the cranial nerve which shows up on an MRI but some don't and still have symptoms.

No one knows for sure but a lot believe it has to do with past dental work

The Trigeminal nerve can be damaged by facial injury, encased in a blood vessels that impead it. Or swelling can occorr via optic nerves, dental work and some times at the base of the brain stem that connect to the Trigeminal nerve and shares the same brain fluid

The cause is unknown!
I woke up with it randomly one day. I've heard of people getting it from dental work, doctors making mistakes and doing damage to nerves, and car accidents seem to be common reasons for TN to start.

Stress, traumatic event, shingles, dental procedure(s) ms, tumor, and other things I'm not aware of.

No one seems to know what causes Trigeminal Neuralgia. What is known is that the protective myelin sheathing of the trigeminal nerve, the largest nerve in the head, wears away, exposing the nerve. This sends miscommunications to the brain that are interpreted as pain, and we feel the lightning bolt resultant shocks and burning, searing pain that is associated with this disease.
Some theorize that the wearing away of the myelin sheathing is due to head trauma, say, from a car wreck or bad fall. Others think that something happens to the root entry zone of the trigeminal nerve when a blood vessel keeps rubbing against it. The bottom line is that it remains something of a mystery as to why and how this rare disease even manifests itself.

They can really never tell you what causes it some say it's nerve compression in the brain
