[[Carbamazepine]] and [[oxcarbazepine]] continue to be first choice for [[Trigeminal neuralgia medical treatment]], but have been supplemented by additional options such as [[pregabalin]], [[lamotrigine]], and [[Onabotulinum toxin A]]. In patients insufficiently responding to medical treatment, there are neurosurgical treatment options giving very good results. The best long-term results have been described for [[microvascular decompression]], but percutaneous and radiosurgical treatments also are good options, especially in patients with an increased surgical risk profile, in secondary trigeminal neuralgia, and in case of recurrence after microvascular decompression
