How it works


About Migraines

Migraine headaches are often inadequately treated by existing medical therapies, resulting in a population of patients with significant residual disability. Interestingly, migraines predominantly affect women (18% women versus 6% men), with a cumulative lifetime risk of 43% in women and 18% in men, most before the age of 35.

Where Science and Aesthetics


How it Surgical Migraine Treatment Works

Surgical treatment of migraines involves operative decompression of trigger sites. Trigger sites are comprised of peripheral nerves of the head and neck that are irritated, compressed or entrapped. By surgically removing muscle, fascia bands, small arteries or bone tunnels that are causing the nerves to constrict, the nerves are decompressed, reducing or eliminating migraines in affected patients. There are multiple common trigger points that lead to migraine headaches.
