Any damage to a nerve may be called neuropathy.
Neuropathy means disease of nerves.


Neuralgia is when a nerve sends pain signals uncontrollably.

Some medical terms overlap each other.

Trigeminal neuralgia may involve a compression, injury or chemical damage to the trigeminal nerve, causing the "neuralgia" (pain sensations).
