lamotrigine and Glossopharyngeal Nerve Diseases

lamotrigine has been researched along with Glossopharyngeal Nerve Diseases in 1 studies

Glossopharyngeal Nerve Diseases: Diseases of the ninth cranial (glossopharyngeal) nerve or its nuclei in the medulla. The nerve may be injured by diseases affecting the lower brain stem, floor of the posterior fossa, jugular foramen, or the nerve's extracranial course. Clinical manifestations include loss of sensation from the pharynx, decreased salivation, and syncope. Glossopharyngeal neuralgia refers to a condition that features recurrent unilateral sharp pain in the tongue, angle of the jaw, external auditory meatus and throat that may be associated with SYNCOPE. Episodes may be triggered by cough, sneeze, swallowing, or pressure on the tragus of the ear. (Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p1390)

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"We describe a case of a patient with glossopharyngeal neuralgia (refractory to treatment with carbamazepine, amytriptyline, diazepam, and indomethacin) treated with lamotrigine as monotherapy, the first described, who responded completely to the therapy and did not complain of side effects."1.33Use of lamotrigine in glossopharyngeal neuralgia: a case report.
