| FUNCTIONAL / PAIN The Functional/Pain Section is headed by Dr. Patrick Tracy. The treatment of a wide variety of problems is conducted through the Department of Neurosurgery and Neurology. This includes essential tremor, spasticity, cerebral palsy and Parkinsons disease, chronic pain syndromes, and trigeminal neuralgia. Deep brain stimulation, spinal cord stimulators, and pain pumps are commonly implanted. Trigeminal neuralgia is commonly treated with percutaneous rhizotomy, microvascular decompression, or through Gamma Knife radiosurgery.
