Abstract
In the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia, it is known that the operative mothods, such as neurovascular decompression, rhizotomy etc. are the most effectious therapies on its pain control. But, due to some side effects and complication, the healing by the first intention of trigeminal neuralgia has been the pharmacotherapy. The cabamazepine is the most common agent, but it is not often effectious in some cases, and attenuated as time goes, engaged in some symptoms, such as dizziness, nausea, vomit, etc., and caused in aplastic anemia, thus it has much deficacies in being the first intention. Recently we have experienced a 77-year old woman who had suffered from the severe trigeminal neuralgia for 21 years, and her condition and pain control were improved through the Korean medical treatments, so we report it for the better treatment.
