Summary
Frameless stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) using the OXRAY system provided effective pain relief for elderly patients with refractory trigeminal neuralgia (TN). This novel approach shows promise for managing TN symptoms with minimal adverse events.
Area of Science:
- Neurosurgery
- Radiation Oncology
- Medical Physics
Background:
- Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a debilitating neuropathic pain condition.
- Refractory TN often requires advanced treatment modalities.
- Frameless stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) offers a non-invasive therapeutic option.
