Trigeminal Neuralgia Treatment in Austin

Trigeminal neuralgia, often described as one of the most painful conditions known to medical science, can significantly impair a person’s quality of life by causing intense, stabbing facial pain.

At Austin CyberKnife, we understand the critical nature of effectively managing this condition, and we are dedicated to offering a state-of-the-art treatment that alleviates pain with precision and care in just one session.

What is Trigeminal Neuralgia?

Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a chronic condition causing extreme, sporadic, shock-like facial pain due to irritation of the trigeminal nerve, often triggered by routine activities like eating or talking.

Commonly seen in people over 50 and more prevalent in women, TN’s causes include blood vessels pressing on the nerve, multiple sclerosis, tumors, or the effects of stroke or trauma. The intense, unpredictable pain significantly impacts quality of life, leading to anxiety, depression, and social withdrawal.

The CyberKnife Treatment in Austin

The CyberKnife system, a form of stereotactic radiosurgery, is particularly useful in treating trigeminal neuralgia due to its precision in targeting the trigeminal nerve without requiring invasive surgery.

Unlike traditional radiation therapy methods, the CyberKnife technology uses advanced robotics and precise computer guidance to deliver high-dose radiation directly to the site of nerve irritation with pinpoint accuracy, aiming to reduce or eliminate the pain.

The advantage of the CyberKnife treatment is its ability to significantly lessen pain with minimal side effects, often in just one treatment session, and without the need for a lengthy recovery period typical of more invasive procedures.

Why Choose the CyberKnife System?

• Pinpoint Accuracy: The system targets only the area affected by the nerve dysfunction, sparing healthy tissue and reducing the risk of side effects.
• Non-Invasive: No incisions are necessary, eliminating the risks associated with surgical procedures and reducing recovery time.
• Effective Pain Relief: Many of our patients experience significant pain relief shortly after treatment, improving their quality of life.
• Shorter Treatment Time: The CyberKnife treatment for trigeminal neuralgia is typically completed in just one session, making it a quick and convenient option.
