AB  - Antiepileptic  drugs  (AEDs)  have  been  used  in  the  treatment  of  chronic  pain  syndromes  for  more  than  50  years.1–4  Phenytoin,  in  particular,  has  been  extensively  used  for  the  treatment  of  neuropathic  pain  during  that  time.5–9  Carbamazepine  was  the  first  AED  used  and  extensively  studied  specifically  for  the  treatment  of  trigeminal  neuralgia.10–12  Since  then  a  variety  of  neuropathic  syndromes  have  been  treated  with  AEDs,  including  diabetic  neuropathy,  postherpetic  neuralgia,  glossopharyngeal  neuralgia,  post-sympathectomy  neuralgia,  and  post-thoracotomy  pain  syndromes.1–4  The  AEDs  include  the  older  drugs  like  phenytoin,  carbamazepine,  and  valproic  acid,  and  newer  agents  such  as  gabapentin,  lamotrigine,  felbamate,  topiramate,  vigabatrin,  tiagabine,  levetiracetam,  zonisamide,  and  oxcarbazepine.
