A 31-year-old woman presents to her primary care physician for the evaluation of episodes of severe jaw pain. She states that these episodes began approximately one week ago, occur dozens of times a day, each time lasting only a few seconds. The pain is in the right jaw, has a sharp, stabbing component, and is 10/10 in severity. Brushing her teeth and placing lotion on her face exacerbate the pain. Upon further questioning, the patient reports that 6 months ago, she had an episode of left-sided lower extremity muscle weakness and numbness that lasted 2 weeks before it spontaneously resolved. On physical examination, palpating the jaw elicited pain, but there was normal sensation. Inspection of the oropharynx, and skin of the face is unremarkable. Neurological examination is normal. Which of the following is the best next step in management?
