Summary
This study tests whether giving Gamma Knife radiosurgery very early after diagnosis of trigeminal neuralgia (a severe facial pain condition) provides longer-lasting pain relief than waiting until medications stop working. About 80 adults with a recent diagnosis will either receive the radiation treatment or continue standard care. Researchers will track pain levels, medication use, and side effects for two years.
