Is Trigeminal Neuralgia hereditary?
Here you can see if Trigeminal Neuralgia can be hereditary. Do you have any genetic components? Does any member of your family have Trigeminal Neuralgia or may be more predisposed to developing the condition?
There is a study out of Yale being done now on genetics.

TN could be hereditary.
However, more research is required to prove this claim.
As for now, TN is not considered to be caused by any genetic factors.

Appears so, in some cases.
Until we understand the underlying causes of TN, we don't fully understand if it's hereditary.

No. There is actually a research going on to see if it is but evidence collected till now says no.
No one in my family apart from me suffers from it.

I would refer to Google but can personally say I believe so. My family is one affected by migraine headaches. The re occurent ages and lengths of affected severity in my family show a pattern.

There is so much speculation about this! I think there may be a genetic component to it. I'm told there were relatives in our family tree that had major migraines on a regular basis, we question if they had TN as well

I'm not sure, but I have heard of family members who have it?

My grandmother suffered facial neuralgia all her life..my mother has severe jaw pain and migraine headaches..I have TN type 1 & 2 bilaterally and migraines. From my family history I feel facial pain is hereditary. I'm very interested to follow research, because I wonder whether I have genetically passed this to my daughter. Time will tell unfortunately.

My dad is just diagnosed with TN. Until few days ago I wasnt aware of how critical it is. I am also having sever headaches many times. Buts its not like. So for now I don't think its hereditary. Now let's see what's in future. I never knew that there canbe such disease apart from cancer aids that can be such that it has no permanent cure or reason of this disease. Wish scientists find it soon. I can't see my dad's condition with this pain.

No. This is at least the general scientific community's consensus.

I fully believe that it is, and that studies will eventually prove so. Several members of my husband's family have it. It goes back for 2 generations that we know of for sure. His grandmother, a great aunt, 2 aunts, and his mother, my husband, 2 brothers, 1 sister, a niece, and a great nephew were all diagnosed with it.
