There’s no cutting, incision, blood, anesthesia, or pain. There are minimal, if any, side effects and no recovery time. You can resume your normal activities immediately following treatment.
Here’s how it works: The CyberKnife system delivers high doses of radiation beams with precision and pinpoint accuracy to desensitize the trigeminal nerve.
Unlike Gamma Knife, CyberKnife treatments do not require anesthesia or invasive skull frame placement and are done on an outpatient basis.
The CyberKnife will move slowly around you during treatment and you won’t feel a thing. You can listen to your favorite music or just nap.
Patients come in wearing their street clothes, lie down on the CyberKnife table, and relax while treatment is administered. Immediately following treatment they can return to normal activities.
CyberKnife has a success rate of 75 to 85 percent with less than a one percent chance of side effects.
After completing the CyberKnife treatment, patients will schedule follow-up appointments.
