clonidine and Trigeminal Neuralgia

clonidine has been researched along with Trigeminal Neuralgia in 11 studies

Clonidine: An imidazoline sympatholytic agent that stimulates ALPHA-2 ADRENERGIC RECEPTORS and central IMIDAZOLINE RECEPTORS. It is commonly used in the management of HYPERTENSION.
clonidine (amino form) : A clonidine that is 4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-amine in which one of the amino hydrogens is replaced by a 2,6-dichlorophenyl group.

Trigeminal Neuralgia: A syndrome characterized by recurrent episodes of excruciating pain lasting several seconds or longer in the sensory distribution of the TRIGEMINAL NERVE. Pain may be initiated by stimulation of trigger points on the face, lips, or gums or by movement of facial muscles or chewing. Associated conditions include MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS, vascular anomalies, ANEURYSMS, and neoplasms. (Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p187)

"In a double-blind study the efficacy and tolerability of tizanidine was compared with those of carbamazepine in the management of trigeminal neuralgia."9.06Tizanidine in the management of trigeminal neuralgia. ( Lataste, X; Lyberg, T; Vilming, ST, 1986)
"In the present study we report two typical cases of trigeminal neuralgia in whom all conventional drug treatments were attempted without success, and in whom low doses of pimozide, a dopaminergic blocking agent, provoked a definite and sustained improvement."7.67Definite and sustained improvement with pimozide of two patients with severe trigeminal neuralgia.

"The limited efficacy of TZD in the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia may be related to the fact that it has no effect on neuronal responses to low-threshold mechanoceptive stimuli, suggesting that low-threshold mechanoceptive neurons play an important role in the pathogenesis of trigeminal neuralgia."6.67A clinical and experimental investigation of the effects of tizanidine in trigeminal neuralgia.

"There is low-quality evidence that the effect of tizanidine is not significantly different than that of carbamazepine in treating trigeminal neuralgia."4.89Non-antiepileptic drugs for trigeminal neuralgia. ( Chen, N; He, L; Yang, M; Zakrzewska, JM; Zhang, J; Zhou, M, 2013)

( Aumentado, D; Fromm, GH; Terrence, CF, 1993)
"Tizanidine was investigated in two trials."2.43Non-antiepileptic drugs for trigeminal neuralgia. ( He, L; Wu, B; Zhou, M, 2006)
"Among the more common symptoms is spasticity."2.41Management of spasticity, pain, and paroxysmal phenomena in multiple sclerosis. ( Schapiro, RT, 2001)
