Attacks of pain lasting from a few seconds to several minutes

Bouts of multiple attacks lasting days, weeks, months or longer — some people have periods when they experience no pain
Pain in areas supplied by the trigeminal nerve, including the cheek, jaw, teeth, gums, lips, or less often the eye and forehead
Pain affecting one side of the face at a time
Pain focused in one spot or spread in a wider pattern
Pain rarely occurring at night while sleeping
