People with trigeminal neuralgia experience extreme pain as a result of oversensitivity of the trigeminal cranial nerve. Based on what you've learned in this class, which of the following would be the best course of treatment for a patient with trigeminal neuralgia and why? Injection of a substance that blocks voltage-gated sodium channels because it would decrease number of action potentials. Injection of a substance that blocks voltage-gated sodium channels because it would decrease conduction velocity. Injection of a substance that blocks voltage-gated chloride channels because it would decrease hyperpolarizing stimuli. Injection of a substance that blocks voltage-gated chloride channels because it would increase hyperpolarizing stimuli.
