We experienced a patient whose trigeminal neuralgia disappeared after treatment with keishikaryojutsubuto and maobushisaishinto. A 77-year-old man developed excruciating pain by a cold wave. The patient received Kampo medicine classified for treating coldness in addition to pregabalin. Ten days later, the patient was relieved of the excruciating pain. It was suggested that the synergistic effect between Kampo medicine and Pregabalin could relieve the pain.
