The relevance of biologically effective dose for pain relief and sensory dysfunction after Gamma Knife radiosurgery for trigeminal neuralgia: an 871-patient multicenter study

Abstract

BED and physical dose were both predictive of pain relief and could be used as treatment planning goals for distal and proximal targets, respectively, while considering maximum brainstem point dose < 29.5 Gy as a potential constraint for bothersome numbness.
