A member asked:
Neuro prescribed baclofen for breakthrough pain from trigeminal neuralgia; is this common? how long will it take to work? what should i expect?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Baclofen: is a muscle relaxer and may have some "off label" benefit in cases of Trigeminal Neuralgia. This condition is a frustrating one and I am sorry you are afflicted ! That being said you are ON THE RIGHT TRACK seeing a NEUROLOGIST and following their suggestions for treatment! Hoping this reassurance is helpful! Dr Z
