Side effects of Cyberknife treatment for trigeminal neuralgia
I received Cyberknife radiation treatment for trigeminal neuralgia and it solved my pain, but I experienced severe side effects. The left side of my face is numb, I lost most of my taste, have dry mouth and it's now effecting my left eye. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this or if anyone knows of treatment that is available for the damaged nerve. This has really affected my quality of life. Thanks.

Hello, did your problems ever resolve? I was thinking of having this done but after hearing this i don't think so! Hope you are better
I am also considering hs procedure as my liver is being affected with the high dose of oxcarbazapine I need to keep he pain at bay. I hope things have calmed down for you. Please give us an update.

My problems have not resolved. I was told this is a very rare side effect. There can be a small area of numbness. I was the unlucky one.

I still have all my numbness, but no pain. I was told I may have a small area/spot of numbness on my face. Unfortunately I experienced a rare side effect.
