Surgical Treatment of Migraine

Surgical treatment of migraine is a relatively new and developing field in medicine. Migraine is a neurological disease characterized by severe headaches and can debilitate those who suffer from them. Migraine surgery aims to address the underlying causes of headaches, which may include compression of nerves or blood vessels in the head and neck. One type of surgical treatment is called "trigger point relaxation," which involves identifying and releasing muscle tension in the head and neck that can contribute to migraines. Another type of surgery is called "nerve decompression," and this involves releasing nerves in the head and neck that can become pinched and lead to migraines. Although surgical treatment of migraine may be effective for most patients, it is important to consult with a n accredited and experienced surgeon to determine whether surgery is appropriate for you and to learn about the benefits.
