Trigeminal neuropathy is a rare, devastating condition that can be intractable and resistant to treatment. When medical treatment fails, invasive options are limited. Motor cortex stimulation (MCS) is a relatively recent technique introduced to treat central neuropathic pain. The use of MCS to treat trigeminal neuropathic or deafferentation pain is not widespread and clinical data in the medical literature that demonstrate efficacy are limited.
