Nerve Decompression for the Treatment of Refractive Migraines

Overview

About this study

The aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of surgical nerve decompression for migraine headaches that are refractive to traditional treatment modalities. Furthermore, we wish to gain a better understanding of the patient's characteristics and factors that predict a better treatment response. This can aid in future patient selection by allowing us to better understand the patients that serve to gain the most from the procedure.
