Radio Frequency Ablation of Occipital nerves

My neurologist is recommending this action based on a reasonably effective nerve block as he believes that my type 2 TG is being exacerbated by referred nerve pain from damage to Occipital nerves during an MVD. Is anyone familiar with this procedure and can you offer information and/or advice?

Thanks,

Jon

Suggest you do some reading at the website of the Mayfield Clinic outside Cincinatti Ohio. Doctor John Tew has written extensively on outcomes of RF Ablation (Rhizotomy) in multiple contexts -- both at Mayfield and elsewhere in medical literature.
