The Gamma Knife Radiosurgery Center
Trigeminal Neuralgia
Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is caused by pressure on the trigeminal nerve which produces agonizing sudden bursts of face pain in areas effected by the trigeminal nerve. Most of the 140,000 people with the condition have pain on just one side of the face, but 5-10% of all cases can experience pain on both sides of the face.
Gamma Knife radiosurgery has become one of the best standard treatments for this condition, due to its effectiveness and extremely low risk of complications. It is the only radiosurgical option for which positive results have been established in peer-reviewed journals.
