Radiosurgery for trigeminal neuralgia: is sensory disturbance required for pain relief?

abstract：:Dose responses in vitro of the basilar arteries of the dog, rabbit, and man to human hemoglobin and reported. For each species, the response occurred over a range of 10(-9)M to greater than 10(-5)M hemoglobin. When compared to a maximum serotonin contraction, the relative constriction induced by 10(-5)M hemoglobin was...
