HI

Thanks for posting your query.

I hope she has been thoroughly examined and tested with x ray and scan before a diagnosis of Trigeminal Neuralgia has been made. If not kindly let me know.

There are many kinds of medications which are effective in trigeminal neuralgia like Pregabalin, Gabapentin , Carbamazepine etc . I need to know what medications has been tried for her so that I can advise the right combination medicines for her .

Sometimes Trigemial neuralgia occurs due to compression of Trigeminal Nerve due to some mass . In that case surgical excision of the mass will relieve her symptoms.

Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarifications feel free to ask .

Regards
