Helping you understand Our healthcare
Carbamazepine is the gold standard treatment. It reduces nerve hyperactivity and controls pain episodes effectively.
Pain relief often begins within a few days, but optimal control may take 1–2 weeks after dose titration.
Common side effects include dizziness, drowsiness, and nausea. Rarely, it may cause low sodium or allergic reactions—regular blood tests help monitor these.
Surgery is considered if medications fail or cause intolerable side effects. Options include microvascular decompression or radiofrequency ablation.
Avoid triggers like chewing hard foods, cold air exposure, or touching sensitive areas. Maintaining stress management practices may also help.
