Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The objective of this study is to capture the change in pain intensity, physical/emotional function, and pain impact for patients diagnosed with neuropathic pain who undergo an Exablate treatment.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The objectives of this study are to capture the change in pain intensity, physical/emotional function, and pain impact for patients diagnosed with neuropathic pain who undergo an Exablate treatment and to capture safety data of the procedure.

The safety assessment measure is the incidence and frequency of device and procedure related Adverse Events (AEs) in subjects who undergo an Exablate treatment.

Performance will be measure by assessing the change from baseline to 3 months post Exablate treatment for pain intensity defined as a decrease of at least 30% of pain on the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). Assessing the change from baseline to 6-12 months post Exablate treatment for pain intensity assessed by using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS)
