Surgical Treatment for Migraines
Dr. Harry Salinas, Plastic Surgeon with Miami Cancer Institute, explains the first thing to do is taking a history, doing a physical and if they get a history that is consistent with the nerve entrapment syndrome, they tell the patient to see them when they are having a migraine and not to take any medications.
He points out that if the symptoms are significantly alleviated by those blocks they offer them surgical decompression of the triggers.
