Summary

A randomized controlled trial comparing Onabotulinumtoxin A to saline (placebo) for Trigeminal Neuralgia.

Conditions

  • Trigeminal Neuralgia

Interventions

DRUG

OnabotulinumtoxinA 100 UNT [Botox]

Intradermal injections will be placed in 25 unit aliquots allocated per affected trigeminal distribution. For example, if the target is the V1 territory, then the patient would get 25 units injected into the V1 distribution. This would be divided into 2.5 units per injection in 10 injection sites as outlined on the map. If V1/V2 were affected, the patient would get 50 units of onabotA. Maximum dose of 75 units if all three trigeminal distributions are involved. We have developed a specific map for administering the doses and this will be followed.
