"Patients with certain chronic, debilitating pain disorders, such as Trigeminal Neuralgia, Intractable Cluster Headaches, and Metastatic cancer pain from bone, do not need to further complicate their lives with the hassels of filling pain pumps or dealing with the sedation, constipation, and other side effects of narcotics.

Gamma Knife offers an opportunity to do away with, or significantly reduce the pain, so they may go on with their life."

--Dr. John Demakas
