Sound waves target brain to silence excruciating facial pain
NCT ID NCT04579692
Summary
This early-stage study is testing a new, non-surgical procedure for people with severe, medication-resistant facial pain called trigeminal neuralgia. Doctors use an MRI machine to guide focused ultrasound waves through the skull to target a tiny area deep in the brain. The goal is to see if this precise treatment can safely reduce the disabling pain when other treatments have failed.
