Summary

This study looks at people with trigeminal neuralgia, a condition that causes severe facial pain. Researchers want to see if adding virtual reality (VR) training before Gamma Knife surgery can improve pain relief. They will also use artificial intelligence (AI) and brain scans to find patterns that predict who will benefit most from surgery. The goal is to personalize treatment and better understand pain.
