Question 1 of 5

A client diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia experiencing intermittent, sudden, severe pain on the left side of the face. The nurse identifies which classification of medications is most effective in treating this pain?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Anticonvulsants. Trigeminal neuralgia is a neuropathic pain disorder, and anticonvulsants like carbamazepine are the first-line treatment due to their ability to stabilize neuronal membranes and reduce nerve firing. Analgesics (choice
A) may not effectively control neuropathic pain. Antihistamines (choice
B) are not indicated for neuropathic pain. Antibiotics (choice
C) are used to treat infections, not neuropathic pain.
Therefore, the most effective medication for treating trigeminal neuralgia is an anticonvulsant.
