43.關於典型三叉神經痛(classic trigeminal neuralgia)的治療，下列何者可做為 Carbamazepine 替代用藥?
(A) Lamotrigine

39. Regarding the neuron–glial interactions within the spinal cord after peripheral nerve injury (PNI), which of the following statement is least likely: (A) Up-regulated P2X4R expression is induced in microglia within the spinal cord by PNI. (B) In this P2X4R+ state, microglia release BDNF, which inhibits neurons in the spinal nociceptive processing network. (C) Minocycline and propentofylline is glial-specific inhibitors. (D) MAPKs, p38, is the intracellular mediator of P2X4R–BDNF signaling in microglia-mediated post–nerve injury pain states. (E) BDNF from microglia is a critical signaling molecule mediating the central pathophysiological effects of PNI.

40. Regarding Central Nervous System Mechanisms of Pain Modulation, which of the following statement is least likely: (A) Pain-modulating systems involve a network with major relays in the midbrain periaqueductal gray and rostral ventrolateral medulla. (B) This network exerts bidirectional control over dorsal horn nociceptive transmission by means of separate anti- and pro-nociceptive output from the RVM. (C) The PAG–RVM system is the central substrate for the actions of opioid and non-opioid analgesic drugs. (D) The PAG–RVM system receives direct and indirect input from nociceptive transmission pathways to modulate nociception. (E) It strongly links with the hypothalamus and limbic forebrain , through which cognitive and emotional factors can regulate pain processing.

42.有關偏頭痛(migraine)之敘述，下列何者有誤？ (A)每月發作一至兩次的病人不須使用預防性用藥 (B)每月發作五次以上的病人應使用預防性用藥 (C) Propranonol 及 Gabapentin 可作為預防性用藥 (D) Aspirin 對許多急性發作病人有效 (E) Ergotamine 對較嚴重的偏頭痛是目前首選用藥

44.有關緊張型頭痛(Tension-type headache)之敘述，下列何者有誤？ (A)頭痛中最常見的一種類型 (B)好發於青壯年，女性多於男性。 (C)多為單側，位於枕頸部、頂顳部，常為緊束感、重壓感的表現。 (D)中樞疼痛機轉在慢性緊張型頭痛扮演較重要角色 (E)藥物選擇上主要採用 NSAIDs 以減輕症狀

45.關於三叉神經痛的介入性治療，目前證據支持下列何種治療可達到較完全和最長期的疼痛 緩解? (A) Microvascular decompression (MVD) (B) Radiofrequency ablation (Gasserian ganglion) (C) Percutaneous balloon microcompression (D) Stereotactic radiosurgery (E) Glycerol rhizotomy

49. Which of the following sign/ or symptom after spinal cord injury with its management is not suggested? (A) muscle spasm with oral baclofen (B) hypertension due to autonomic dysreflexia with antihypertensive drugs (C) at/ below level neuropathic pain with pregabalin (D) at/ below level neuropathic pain with duloxetine (E) pain due to fracture/ dislocation with NSAUDs
