First seen Dec 10, 2025 · Last updated May 03, 2026 · Updated 21 times

Summary

This study compares two medications, carbamazepine and oxcarbazepine, to see which one provides better pain relief for people with trigeminal neuralgia, a condition that causes severe facial pain. About 122 adults aged 18 to 60 with the condition for at least two weeks will take one of the two drugs. Researchers will measure pain levels using a simple 1-to-10 scale and also track side effects like liver problems, nausea, and dizziness.
