Baydoun, Jamie; Lin, Alexander; Miya, Jared
- Abstract
While the typical treatment for trigeminal neuralgia is carbamazepine, the dose must be gradually titrated over time to achieve pain control, which makes the drug a less than ideal candidate for treatment for acute exacerbation of pain due to trigeminal neuralgia in the emergency department (ED) setting. The literature for other effective treatments for acute exacerbations of trigeminal neuralgia is currently lacking. We discuss a case where intravenous (IV) fosphenytoin was used for treatment of acute pain due to trigeminal neuralgia in the ED.
