- Honor Society of Nursing (STTI) Answered:Trigeminal neuralgia is caused by an improperly functioning trigeminal nerve. What causes the trigeminal nerve to act up though is not always clear. Often, it is the result of an artery or vein that runs near the nerve, touching or pressing against it, causing pressure. It can also develop as a result of nerve damage caused by multiple sclerosis, and less frequently, as the result of a tumor putting pressure on the trigeminal nerve.
