چکیده
Carbazepine, Tegretol (5-carbamyl-dibenz (b,f)azepin), originally known as G.32883 and introduced in 1959 as an anticonvulsant, was first shown to have some effect in relieving the pain oftrigeminal neuralgia by Blom (1962, 1963). Since then Spillane (1963, 1964), McArdle (1963), and Taylor (1963) have confirmed that this drug has a specific effect in relieving the pain of trigeminal neuralgia in some 60 to 80% of patients. This paper describes a controlled trial of carbazepine carried out simultaneously at The National Hospital, Queen Square, London, Cardiff Royal Infirmary, and Guy's Hospital, London.
