RP-008 Plus Varenicline for Trigeminal Neuralgia Pain
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18–80 years old
- You have been diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia (severe facial nerve pain) at least 6 months ago
- Your pain is on only one side of your face, affecting the cheek and/or lower jaw
- You have tried at least one standard anti-epileptic pain medication (like carbamazepine or gabapentin) that didn't work well enough or caused side effects
- You are currently taking a stable dose of trigeminal neuralgia medication and have been for at least 6 weeks
- You can understand and sign an informed consent form

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 study uses computer-based (AI) predictions to better understand what happens after a specific procedure for trigeminal neuralgia, a face pain condition. It also checks how well a “pain neuromodulation” approach works and what it feels like over time.
This trial tests two image-guided procedures to treat severe facial pain from trigeminal neuralgia. It compares using a CT scan versus an X-ray video to guide a needle that heats the nerve to stop pain signals.
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 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.
