title: Carbamazepine and sciatica.
abstract: Carbamazepine is useful in the management of various painful conditions. The mechanism of its action is not known. Whatever its mechanism, Carbamazepine appears to have a good chance of relieving painful disorders with episodic, flashing pain. Two cases of sciatica responding favourably to carbamazepine are presented in detail.
