Nerve Pain

Radiation was the only treatment used for my husband's stage 4 Nasal Pharyngeal cancer.  He is now 15 years out and suffering from severe neuralgia in the neck.

He tried acupuncture.  Lyrica did not work. Gabapentin provides very little relief.  Most of his relief is found through pain killers.  He did try a nerve block, but it made his neck feel that if he moved it, his head would break and fall off.

Can anyone let me know if there is a treatment that might work?
