Destroying a Facial Pain Nerve at the Skull Base

Kentucky rates for HCPCS 64610

A needle is guided through the cheek to the small opening at the base of the skull where branches of the main facial sensation nerve pass, with x-ray imaging used to confirm the position. The nerve branches are then destroyed to stop severe, electric-shock-like facial pain. It is used when medicines no longer control the pain.
