Summary

This early-stage study tests a new way to treat severe pain from head, neck, and brachial cancers when opioids no longer help. Using MRI-guided focused ultrasound, doctors create a small lesion in the brain's pain pathway to block pain signals. The study involves 20 adults aged 18-85 and focuses on safety and pain reduction.
