- Abstract
Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is one of the ancient neuropathic disorders which torments a significant proportion of the population. Although Carbamazepine is the first line drug of choice in the treatment of this debility, cases falling into the domain of intractable neuralgia fail to respond to maximum tolerable doses of the drug. In such cases, Oxcarbazepine (OXC) may be given more preference owing to the minor risk for drug interactions and its better tolerability in comparison with CBZ. This study was designed to study the therapeutic effectiveness of OXC in intractable TN using Efficacy index of Clinical Global Impressions (CGI) score, also accounting for the adverse effects using Liverpool Adverse Events Profile.
