    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Neurosurgery

    Background:

    • Trigeminal neuralgia, also known as tic douloureux, typically affects individuals in their sixth or seventh decade of life.
    • It presents as severe, excruciating, and almost always unilateral facial pain.
    • The mandibular and maxillary divisions of the fifth cranial nerve are most frequently involved.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To provide an overview of trigeminal neuralgia.
    • To discuss current management strategies, including pharmacological and surgical options.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of trigeminal neuralgia.
    • Summary of established treatment protocols.

    Main Results:

    • Carbamazepine is identified as the drug of choice for managing trigeminal neuralgia.
  • Currently popular surgical interventions include fifth cranial nerve decompression and percutaneous thermal lesioning of the gasserian ganglion.

    • Conclusions:

    • Trigeminal neuralgia is a debilitating condition requiring effective management.
    • Pharmacological and surgical approaches offer therapeutic options for patients.
