[Muscle relaxants in the treatment of idiopathic trigeminal neuralgia (author's transl)]. 1975

H H von Albert

In 195 patients with idiopathic trigeminal neuralgias, atypical facial neuralgia or zoster neuralgia in the face it was shown that, in the initial stages of these diseases, the efficacy of the always satisfactory medicinal treatment with an anticonvulsant (hydantoin or carbamezathine) can be increased by combination with a muscle relaxant (especially chlormezanone). Medicinal therapy is then still frequently possible without side effects and operative treatment (Frazier-Spiller's retrogasserian neurotomy) can be postponed.

D008134	Long-Term Care	Care over an extended period, usually for a chronic condition or disability, requiring periodic, intermittent, or continuous care.	Care, Long-Term,Long Term Care
D009125	Muscle Relaxants, Central	A heterogeneous group of drugs used to produce muscle relaxation, excepting the neuromuscular blocking agents. They have their primary clinical and therapeutic uses in the treatment of muscle spasm and immobility associated with strains, sprains, and injuries of the back and, to a lesser degree, injuries to the neck. They have been used also for the treatment of a variety of clinical conditions that have in common only the presence of skeletal muscle hyperactivity, for example, the muscle spasms that can occur in MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS.
