Hi,

I had a lidocaine infusion. My first infusion was a low dose since they want to see if I could tolerate it. I felt some relief immediately but it only lasted a day. Probably because it was such a low dose. I was to be scheduled to return every couple of weeks, except I opted to have surgery. The nurse I spoke with said the clinic had seen lidocaine infusions help quite a few people with TN. The benefits were really seen with ongoing, regular treatments. Hope this helps!
