This is a GREAT site.

You can do a "search" on this site for neuralgia or bell's palsy or facial palsy.

Take care:)

Hi, trigeminal neuralgia is a disorder affecting the areas of the face where the trigeminal nerve's branches are distributed, including the lips, eyes, nose, scalp, forehead, and upper and lower jaws. Often caused by an artery that compresses the nerve, the condition can bring about stabbing, mind-numbing, electric shock-like pain from just a light wind or a finger's glance of the cheek.

Medications like carbamazepine, gabapentin, amitryptline etc are usually prescribed for this condition. Please visit website for more information http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigeminal_neuralgia
