An explicative experimental study was carried out in 21 patients carriers of trigemial neuralgia remitedd to the Natural and Traditional Clinic at Carlos J. Finlay medical University in Camagüey, within the period from September2000 to March 2001, with the aim of evaluating the effectiveness of the homeopathic treatment in this pathology during the firts seven days of treatment, since most of patients (85, 7 %) are classified as cured in this stage, remaining only a minory (14, 3 %) but they only improveded, because they had local factors very justified that impeded their total recovery. It is concluded that this therapy is effective since it cares in a relatively short time withoud leaving symptoms presented at the early stage of the disease.
