Abstract

INTRODUCTION


In Pakistan carbamazepine (tegretol) is invariably prescribed for patients suffering from trigeminal neural­gia. The initial dose is 100-200 mg twice daily orally. In some eases as much as 1600 mg may be required. Side effects include dry mouth, dizziness, drowziness, diar­rhoea, nausea, etc. In some cases skin rashes, jaundice and leucopenia were also seen1. The study was undertaken to compare the effects of acupuncture in patients suffering from trigeminal neural­gia.
