Which medication is FDA-approved for trigeminal neuralgia?

  1. Gabapentin

  2. Carbamazepine

  3. Lidocaine

  4. Pregabalin

The correct answer is: Carbamazepine

Trigeminal neuralgia is a debilitating condition that causes severe facial pain and is often treated with medication. Gabapentin, lidocaine, and pregabalin are all commonly prescribed for nerve-related pain, but none have FDA approval specifically for trigeminal neuralgia. Carbamazepine, on the other hand, is the only medication that is FDA-approved for this condition and has been shown to be effective in reducing pain. Therefore, it is the correct answer.
