Abstract in brief

  • This study tested whether electroacupuncture (EA), carbamazepine (CBZ), or the combination of both can effectively reduce pain in patients with trigeminal neuralgia, a condition characterized by severe and recurring facial pain.
  • The results showed that both EA and CBZ independently significantly decreased pain levels, with the combination producing the greatest improvement, especially over time, indicating a potential synergistic effect.
  • Side effects related to EA were fewer compared to CBZ, suggesting that electroacupuncture might be a safer treatment option or complement existing therapies for managing trigeminal neuralgia.]
