Summary

To determine the feasibility of frameless Virtual Cone trigeminal neuralgia radiosurgery at a single institution prior to multi-institutional enrollment.

Conditions

  • Trigeminal Neuralgia

Interventions

DEVICE

Unframed Virtual Cone

A face mask (unframed) will be placed over the patient's face to keep their head from moving during the procedure. This will allow for very precise targeting. During the procedure, the study doctor will also confirm the exact location that needs to be treated using x-rays and optical imaging cameras. The face mask (unframed) will hold the patient's head to prevent it from moving and to focus the x-rays and aim them on the painful nerve in the patient's brain. For most patients, the actual time on the radiosurgery treatment machine is in the range of 30 to 60 minutes. The face mask (unframed) will be removed after the treatment.
