Trigeminal neuralgia (TN), characterized by its refractory nature and recurrence, frequently leads to anxiety, depression, and insomnia, thereby significantly diminishing patients' quality of life and potentially inducing self-harm. Carbamazepine (CBZ) is the first-line medication for TN, yet it presents adverse effects such as addiction and the absence of analgesic effects upon cessation. Acupuncture, particularly electroacupuncture（EA）, has demonstrated efficacy in TN treatment, although its therapeutic outcomes are influenced by various factors. Consequently, this study aims to evaluate the clinical efficacy of EA for TN and its potential as an alternative to CBZ treatment.
