Experimental Treatment
Group I: Experimental: ExAblate Transcranial treatmentExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The ExAblate Transcranial system will be used to destroy a small cluster of cells that may be causing the study participant's pain . The ExAblate uses ultrasound to heat a small spot in the brain. Ultrasound passes through the skin and skull and into the brain to focus on a spot the study investigator wants to treat.
