2. Oxcarbazepine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxcarbazepine

   Research has investigated the use of oxcarbazepine as a mood stabilizer in bipolar disorder, with further evidence needed to fully assess its suitability. [7] [29] [30] [31] Oxcarbazepine used in conjunction with lithium has been shown to be effective in the maintenance phase. [32] It may be beneficial in trigeminal neuralgia. [33]

3. Atypical trigeminal neuralgia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atypical_trigeminal_neuralgia

   The trigeminal nerve.. ATN is usually attributed to inflammation or demyelination, with increased sensitivity of the trigeminal nerve.These effects are believed to be caused by infection, demyelinating diseases, or compression of the trigeminal nerve (by an impinging vein or artery, a tumor, dental trauma, accidents, or arteriovenous malformation) and are often confused with dental problems.

   Typical and atypical trigeminal neuralgia [1] Causes: Believed to be due to problems with myelin of trigeminal nerve [1] [6] Diagnostic method: Based on symptoms [1] Differential diagnosis: Postherpetic neuralgia [1] Treatment: Medication, surgery [1] Medication: Carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine [6] Prognosis: 80% improve with initial treatment [6 ...

   Anticonvulsants are also increasingly being used in the treatment of bipolar disorder [2] [3] and borderline personality disorder, [4] since many seem to act as mood stabilizers, and for the treatment of neuropathic pain. [5] Anticonvulsants suppress the excessive rapid firing of neurons during seizures. [6]

6. Carbamazepine - Wikipedia

   In the United States, carbamazepine is indicated for the treatment of epilepsy (including partial seizures, generalized tonic-clonic seizures and mixed seizures), and trigeminal neuralgia. [4] [18] Carbamazepine is the only medication that is approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia. [19]

7. Neuropathic pain - Wikipedia

   [28] [26] [29] [30] The anticonvulsants carbamazepine and oxcarbazepine are especially effective in trigeminal neuralgia. Carbamazepine is a voltage-gated sodium channel inhibitor, and reduces neuronal excitability by preventing depolarisation. [31]
