摘要：
Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a chronic neuropathic pain disorder characterized by paroxysms of electric shock-like or stabbing pain in the face. This condition is associated with poor quality of life. First-line treatment includes carbamazepine or oxcarbazepine, but some cases show refractory symptoms to this approach. We describe a challenging case of secondary TN due to an advanced head and neck cancer managed by a palliative care team.
