Comparative Study Clinical Trial Controlled Clinical Trial
Tizanidine in the management of trigeminal neuralgia.
In a double-blind study the efficacy and tolerability of tizanidine was compared with those of carbamazepine in the management of trigeminal neuralgia. Six patients were allocated to treatment with tizanidine and six to carbamazepine. ⋯ Among the efficacy factors used, the visual analog scale (VAS) and the overall efficacy as assessed by patients and investigator turned out to be the most appropriate. The results indicate that tizanidine was well tolerated, but the effects, if any, were inferior to those of carbamazepine.
