The nurse caring for a patient with trigeminal neuralgia knows that the treatment focus will be
1. drugs such as tricyclic anticonvulsants or surgically severing the nerve root (rhizotomy).
2. antiviral drugs such as acyclovir and physical therapy.
3. respiratory support and NSAIDs.
4. physical therapy and warm, moist packs to the affected area.

1 -- Trigeminal neuralgia is treated by a pharmacologic approach to pain control by prescribing tricyclic anticonvulsants such as carbamazapine (Tegretol) or rhizotomy, which is surgically severing the nerve root. Antiviral drugs and physical therapy are the treatment for Bell’s palsy. Respiratory support, NSAIDs, physical therapy, and warm, moist packs to the affected area are not appropriate treatments.
