DOI: 10.1002/brb3.1409
Abstract: Although recent studies have shown that botulinum toxin‐A (BTX‐A) has a good analgesic effect on trigeminal neuralgia (TN) and peripheral neuropathic pain (PNP), the quality of evidence is low due to limited data. This meta‐analysis… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ejp.1192
Abstract: Antiepileptic drugs are the first‐line treatment for trigeminal neuralgia (TN). Carbamazepine and oxcarbazepine are the most studied with well‐known efficacy. Eslicarbazepine acetate is a third‐generation antiepileptic drug that has not previously been evaluated for the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ejp.1293
Abstract: We hypothesized that prepulse modulation (PPM) would be altered in trigeminal neuralgia (TN) if suprasegmental inhibitory network involvement was present and tested our hypothesis in a group of patients with classical TN. read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00234-022-02900-5
Abstract: Introduction Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a devastating neuropathic condition. This work tests whether radiomics features derived from MRI of the trigeminal nerve can distinguish between TN-afflicted and pain-free nerves. Methods 3D T1- and T2-weighted 1.5-Tesla… read more here.
