Pharmacologic treatment for chronic facial pain
Curr Opin Dent.
1991 Aug.
Abstract
Chronic orofacial pain often requires pharmacologic treatment in conjunction with surgical, physical, and psychologic treatments. Myofascial pain, neuralgias, vascular pain, and limbic system dysfunction are the elements of orofacial pain that may respond to treatment with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, anticonvulsants, membrane-stabilizing and monoaminergic medicines, respectively.
