Title: Radiation
Post by Renee on Jan 9th, 2005, 6:38am
Off of Mayo Clinic's website:


Quote:
Radiation. An intensely focused beam of radiation aimed at the trigeminal nerve may be successful in people who don't respond to other treatment. Radiation isn't a common treatment for cluster headaches, and further research is needed to determine its effectiveness.


Have I missed posts on the above or has this never been mentioned.  Has anyone tried this?

I think they mean gamma knife surgery.  I know that's been discussed here somewhere.
