AbstractGo-rei-san is a Japanese traditional medicine that is used to treat motion sickness, nausea, and vomiting. We report here four patients for whom Go-rei-san was effective in treating pain associated with intractable trigeminal neuralgia. Three patients could not continue carbamazepine due to drug-induced rash, liver damage, and gastrointestinal injury, and suffered from pain. One patient experienced severe dizziness upon combination treatment with pregabalin and carbamazepine. All patients exhibited symptoms of water poisoning on their tongues. All patients experienced significant pain relief without major complications after daily adminis- tration of 7.5 g Go-rei-san. Our findings suggest that Go-rei-san can effectively alleviate pain associated with intractable trigeminal neuralgia without major compli- cations.
