Adding pregabalin to carbamazepine for trigeminal neuralgia
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests whether adding pregabalin to your usual carbamazepine treatment can better control trigeminal neuralgia pain. It is for people with classic trigeminal neuralgia who want to see if a combination of medicines can help.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with classical trigeminal neuralgia (facial pain that feels like electric shocks).
- You do not have any other type of facial pain besides the trigeminal neuralgia pain.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You do not have any liver or kidney problems.
- You are not allergic to pregabalin or carbamazepine (the study drugs).

This trial tests if adding electroacupuncture to your current medication can better control trigeminal neuralgia pain and reduce side effects. You should already be taking carbamazepine or oxcarbazepine.
This trial tests whether adding electroacupuncture (a type of acupuncture with mild electric current) helps reduce facial pain in people with trigeminal neuralgia. It may help if you are already on carbamazepine medicine but still have pain.
This trial tests a new drug called RP-008 combined with varenicline (a quit-smoking medication) to relieve severe facial pain from trigeminal neuralgia. If you've already tried standard pain medications without enough relief, this combination might help reduce your pain attacks.
This study compares two types of pulsed radiofrequency treatment for severe trigeminal neuralgia (a type of facial pain) that hasn't been helped enough by medication. The goal is to see which method works better and is safer for relieving pain.
This study compares two types of radiofrequency treatment (a procedure that uses heat to calm the nerve) for people with trigeminal neuralgia whose pain hasn't improved with medication. The goal is to find which method works better and lasts longer.
This trial is testing a medication called lacosamide, given through an IV, to treat sudden, severe facial pain attacks in people with trigeminal neuralgia who come to the emergency room. The goal is to see if it helps relieve pain quickly.
