    Your primary care physician, a neurologist, or a pain specialist may be involved in your care.


    Certain medicines sometimes help reduce pain and the rate of attacks. These medicines include:


    Anti-seizure drugs (carbamazepine, gabapentin, lamotrigine, phenytoin, valproate, and pregabalin)


    Muscle relaxants (baclofen, clonazepam)


    Tricyclic antidepressants (amitriptyline, nortriptyline, or carbamazepine)


    Some patients may need surgery to relieve pressure on the nerve. Techniques include:


    Cutting or destroying part of the trigeminal nerve


    Stereotactic radiosurgery


    Surgery to remove a blood vessel or tumor that is putting pressure on the trigeminal nerve
