Imagine being perpetually afflicted by headaches to the point of being unable to perform basic daily functions. Very often, traditional remedies could be ineffective. However, something new is on the horizon: headache surgery.
This type of procedure, nerve decompression surgery, pinpoints certain nerve triggers that are responsible for headache attacks in patients suffering from chronic migraines. It helps reduce the number and intensity of headache attacks through relieving the pressure on the associated nerves.
There has been recent evidence backing it. For example, in one of the research articles published in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, it was reported that patients show a higher reduction in days suffering from headaches after surgery.

Another study found that 85% of patients who received temporal migraine surgery appreciated a 50% at least improvement with 55% achieving complete clearance of temporal headache.

One of the centers that has easily adapted this is Weill Cornell Medicine. They also offer surgical and non-surgical options, such as nerve blocks and Botox, to treat migraines and headaches.
