Zhou X, Shen Y, Zhao C, Luo FAbstract
Acute trigeminal neuralgia exacerbation is a common reason for frequent emergency department visits, that often occurs while waiting for surgery, but evidence on effective drugs for acute trigeminal neuralgia is scant. Whether lidocaine aerosol could be a rescue option for the treatment of acute trigeminal neuralgia exacerbations is worth exploring. Positive predictors of the analgesic effects of lidocaine aerosol also warrant further investigation.
