Article Synopsis
- Trigeminal neuralgia is challenging to manage, often requiring alternative treatments due to issues with first-line medications like carbamazepine.
- In a case series of six patients, mirogabalin, a new α2δ ligand, led to an average pain reduction of 43.1%, though results varied among patients.
- While side effects from mirogabalin were generally mild (notably drowsiness and dizziness), its limited efficacy in some cases suggests that further research is needed to fully assess its potential.
Various neuropathies of the cranil nerves can accompany trigeminal neuropathic pain attributed to space-occupying lesions. In this case report, the patient presented with persistent intraoral pain and numbness on the right side of the face. Cranial nerve examination revealed dysfunctional eye movements, diplopia, and mechanical hyposensitivity in the mandibular region.
