This report describes the successful treatment of a 72-year-old female with refractory trigeminal neuralgia using a traditional herbal medicine, Uyakujunkisan (UJS). The case report is of a 65-year-old female who developed right-sided trigeminal neuralgia that was partially responsive to carbamazepine (CZ). The pain gradually increased in intensity and at 72 years of age she presented for herbal medicine therapy. Cranial MRI demonstrated vascular compression of the right trigeminal nerve at the cerebellopontine angle by the anterior inferior cerebellar artery. Although microvascular decompression was considered, UJS was prescribed after informed consent. After 3 weeks of treatment with UJS, dramatic improvement of symptoms permitted a decrease in CZ dose.

A female patient in her 30s developed intractable trigeminal neuralgia on the left side of her face due to a metastatic tumor in the left middle cranial fossa. Despite being treated with carbamazepine, gabapentin, pregabalin, baclofen, tramadol, lidocaine, Neurotropin, and nerve block, the trigeminal neuralgia was not resolved. After a joint discussion between pharmacists and neurosurgeons, the patient was suspected of having trigeminal neuralgia with facial numbness due to a tumor. We, therefore, administered traditional the Japanese herbal medicine Goshajinkigan, a formulation approved for pain and numbness. An MRI revealed a tumor with edema around the left trigeminal nerve, and the traditional Japanese herbal medicine Saireito was also administered to reduce edema. Her neuralgia improved markedly after Goshajinkigan and Saireito administration, i.e., the pain was con ned to a narrow area on her left lower eyelid, temple, and lower jaw. Furthermore, her breakthrough pain scale score decreased from numerical rating scale (NRS) 10 to NRS 3, and her continuous pain scale score decreased from NRS 10 to NRS 0. The ndings from this case suggest that Goshajinkigan and Saireito may bene t patients with intractable trigeminal neuralgia.
