Trigeminal neuralgia causes facial pain. Trigeminal neuralgia develops in mid to late life. The condition is the most frequently occurring of all the nerve pain disorders. The pain, which comes and goes, feels like bursts of sharp, stabbing, electric-shocks. This pain can last from a few seconds to a few minutes.
This is a real condition and is not only in someone's imagination. I've enclosed a link were you can read more about this disorder.

Not an answer but look into a book called The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Davies - a possible alternate explination based on our ability to tolerate pain and have it become normal to the point the it is better not to feel it - the mind works with us to help us deal.
