Hi,
The most effective drugs for the treatment of Glossopharyngeal
Neuralgia are antiseizure medications, such as
carbamazepine, gabapentin, and phenytoin. Antidepressants, such as amitriptyline, may help certain people but not always.
In severe cases, when pain is difficult to treat with medications, surgery to relieve the glossopharyngeal nerve may be needed. This surgery is generally considered effective.
