Trigeminal neuralgia - the evidence base for medical and surgical treatments

A BMJ Clinical Evidence systematic overview looks at the evidence for medical and surgical treatments of trigeminal neuralgia, and the uncertainties that exist due to gaps in the evidence. This has been summarised in The BMJ. The authors of the overview and bmj.comsummary, Prof. Joanna Zakrzewska from the Facial Pain Unit at the Eastman Dental Hospital, London, and Mark Linskey, Professor of Neurological Surgery at the University of California Irvine, discuss the evidence, the issues around it, and put this all into a clinical context.
