Abstract
Anticonvulsant drugs are used to treat epilepsy, but some evidence has shown efficacy in treating various types of neuropathic pain. Various studies have shown carbamazepine (an anticonvulsant drug) to be effective in phantom limb pain, diabetic neuropathy, facial pain, and postsurgical pain. The use of anticonvulsant drugs, however, is not without risk; serious adverse effects include deaths from hematologic reactions. The most common adverse effect is impaired mental and motor function.
