Pharmacologic treatment for chronic facial pain

A J Bouckoms et al. 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.
