[Naloxone and essential trigeminal neuralgia].
From the correlation between pain and morphin-like peptides there comes the suggestion of an etiopathogenetic relation between essential trigeminal neuralgia and endorphins. The clinical and pharmacological observation utilizing Naloxone, a morphin-like substances antagonist, and the transcoutaneous electrotherapy there seem to exclude that this etiopathogenetic relation there can be.
