Hi there.  I understand your anxiety about gamma knife surgery. Usually patients have an immediate reduction in the pain they had. The attacks from the condition are not completely removed but reduced over the weeks. As many as 90% patients have reduction in symptoms after a month of treatment.  Some side effects of facial numbness have been associated. Gamma knife surgery for trigeminal neuralgia has been a safe and effective treatment and better than traditional surgery. Take care.

Thanks for your post, I read into your post that you need more than one visit ?, My wife has a appointment next week & there is not a lot of info on the procedure in Australia, will have to wait & see.

Regards,
Ross
