Abstract
A 42-year-old male with advanced multiple sclerosis had severe left-sided trigeminal neuralgia in the maxillary and mandibular divisions that was extremely difficult to control with medications. Glycerol injection in the gasserian cystern provided only temporary results. Two electrodes were implanted epidurally at the C1-2 level, one in the midline and the other to the left of midline. Electrical stimulation produced complete relief from the painful paroxysms.
