Migraine headache is defined as recurrent, throbbing and severe headaches that often start in the forehead and temple area, typically unilateral, accompanied by symptoms such as nausea and light discomfort.
In the treatment of migraine-type headaches, it is necessary to stay away from triggering factors such as coffee, cigarettes and alcohol. Painkillers used during acute pain, preventive drugs used in the acute period and preventive drugs used in the long term can be counted as drug treatment.
Migraine can start from 4 trigger points:Between the eyebrows – such patients frown a lot and often have a deep line between their eyebrows from the jokes from the neck From behind the eyes, from the nose
The underlying logic of migraine surgery is to loosen the pinched nerve by loosening the anatomical structures at the trigger point, thereby eliminating the trigger signals sent by the nerve to the brain. Whether the surgery will work or not is first tested with botox.If the pain starts between the eyebrows, the endoscope is entered through short cuts in the scalp and the muscles between the eyebrows are cut and removed,If the pain starts from the temples, a thin sensory nerve in the temples is cut off with the help of an endoscope,If the pain starts from the neck, the muscle group around the sensory nerve in the neck is cut and removed,If the pain starts from behind the eyes and inside the nose, first a CT scan is performed to investigate whether there is cartilage curvature or growth in the nasal concha. If there is deviation surgery, curved cartilage and bones are removed, nasal meats are reduced.
