| | Paroxysmal Dyskinesias |
 | | Due to a number of factors--including the sudden, unpredictable, transient nature of paroxysmal dyskinesia, its response to anticonvulsant medications, and the premonitory sensations often preceding episodes--some researchers have suggested that paroxysmal dyskinesia may be epileptic in nature. | | | In addition to medical therapy, surgical interventions such as chronic thalamic stimulation, are being explored as potential therapies in patients with medically intractable paroxysmal dyskinesias. | | | Kurlan R, Shoulson I. Familial paroxysmal dystonic choreoathetosis and response to alternate-day oxazepam therapy. |

| | The paroxysmal hemicranias are a group of rare, benign headache disorders that clinically resemble cluster headache, fail to remit with standard anticluster therapies, and respond spectacularly to indomethacin. | | | Similar to paroxysmal hemicrania, HC is responsive to indomethacin. | | | Attacks typically are unilateral; in three patients, however, pain was experienced simultaneously on the opposite side. |

| | The intermittent and transient nature of paroxysmal dyskinesia generally precludes the use of therapies such as botulinum toxin injections and surgery. | | | Its purpose is to raise awareness and advocate research about paroxysmal dyskinesias as well as to help ease the isolation, frustration, and confusion people with PD may experience. | | | People who experience short attacks of PHD may respond to anticonvulsant drugs, including carbamazepine and phenytoin. |

| | Paroxysmal neuralgias are intense, often electric pains, that come in volleys. | | | Cluster headaches are an example of the trigeminal (name of the sensory nerve of the face) autonomic (accompanied by symptoms from the involuntary nervous system) cephalgias (headache). | | | Sometimes a procedure is needed to treat the problem and infrequently, special pain medications may be the best approach. |

| | Trigeminal neuralgia or tic douloureux is a facial pain characterized by repetitive attacks of lightening-like jabs of lancinating pain in the maxillary and mandibular divisions of the trigeminal nerve. | | | One may divide the migraine attack into five phases: the prodrome, occurring hours or days before the headache; the aura, which come immediately before the headache; the headache itself; the headache termination; and the postdrome. | | | The symptoms are similar to those one might expect with ischemia in the posterior circulation, namely: bilateral disturbance of vision, ataxia, dysarthria, vertigo, tinnitus, and face or limb paresthesias, followed by severe throbbing headache usually in the occipital region. |
