About
I. Milanesi is a leading figure in the field of stereotactic radiosurgery, with a primary focus on the non-invasive treatment of craniofacial pain disorders. Their most impactful work centers on the application of the CyberKnife robotic system for trigeminal neuralgia, a condition characterized by severe, chronic facial pain. Milanesi’s landmark 2009 study, cited 69 times, was among the first to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of frameless CyberKnife radiosurgery as a first-line intervention for pharmacologically refractory cases. By treating 33 patients without the need for invasive frames, this work established a new, patient-friendly standard of care, significantly reducing procedural discomfort while maintaining high rates of pain relief. This contribution has shaped modern neurosurgical protocols, offering a vital alternative to traditional microvascular decompression. Milanesi’s research continues to influence the evolution of robotic radiosurgery, underscoring their role in advancing precision medicine for debilitating neurological conditions.
