I knew that. My grand-grandfather, who suffered from CH (I inherited it from him), had a surgery later in the years, to get his trigeminal nerve removed (not with radiofrequencies, yet the final effect is the same).

Guess what? After 1 year of relief, CH came again just as usual. He suffered by a lot of additional issues also, like loss of sensitivity on that side of the face, difficulties during mastication, etc.

For me it's 100% useless, for other people... who knows, but I won't bet on that.

Rough.  I had a read of a similar report on Pubmed (I'll look for it) of an account where another person had the trigeminal nerve severed and got absolutely no relief.  I'm sure there are some people somewhere that this will help, but I sure as hell wouldn't go there.
