I was very saddened to read the world's loss of this great man. He was a true pioneer, able to forge ahead with his theory on microvascular decompression for trigeminal neuralgia (which proved to be right) in the face of scorn and doubt from pretty much everyone around him. Who knows how many tens of thousands of people have been relieved of the nightmare of trigemnial neuralgia because of Dr. Jannettta and the procedure he pioneered. Still more will be helped in the future.

I was one of those who was following his work on microvascular decompression for PD. I hope someone will continue this work so that can learn whether it can help PWP.
