Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) delivers a focused, high-dose beam of radiation to the trigeminal nerve root to interrupt pain signals—without an incision. It’s ideal for patients who cannot undergo open surgery or prefer a noninvasive option.

At Atlantic Brain and Spine, neurosurgeons use both CyberKnife® and TrueBeam® technologies to precisely target the nerve while protecting nearby tissue. Pain relief usually develops gradually over several weeks.
