Pain-relief related structural brain alterations in trigeminal neuralgia induced by non-invasive stereotactic radiosurgery – a pilot study

Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a devastating chronic pain disorder, defined by unilateral shock like pain in at least one division of the trigeminal nerve. Although several studies have investigated structural brain plasticity in TN patients, treatment-induced alterations remain largely uninvestigated.
