subject: Surgery Can Help To Get Rid Of Migraine [print this page] Migraine is a serious problem and can bring people to total despair. New hope for a cure gives plastic surgeons. Official Journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons' Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery has published research data on the operation, significantly reduces manifestations of the disease. More than half of patients reported complete disappearance of symptoms of migraine. About one in four family members, including 18% of women suffer from migraines. Many of them do not just want to get rid of headaches, and desperate.
Headaches in Greek means "half head". This is a neurological disorder characterized by frequent bouts of excruciating headache on one side of the head, at least - with the two. Plastic surgeons from Cleveland, United States, about ten years working on the study of the influence stimulation of the trigeminal nerve, caused by muscle spasms around him, the emergence of periodic headaches, and concluded that surgical intervention can be an effective way to combat migraines.
Migraine is a fairly common neurological disease: at least 10% of the planet populations suffer from this disease. The women suffer from migraines more frequently then the men. Seizures may occur as several times a year, as even every day, threatening the life of the patient. Among the most common methods used to combat migraines allocate prevention and cupping. Scientists at University Hospital Case Medical Centre in Cleveland, USA, showed that surgical intervention can relieve the suffering of millions of people. Nearly nine out of ten patients were satisfied with the operation. One of the three of them, the pain has stopped. During the surgery, doctors remove the muscle or nerve bundles of various "pockets" on the head.
The study began after the plastic surgeon Dr. Bahman Guyuron observed improvement in patients suffering from migraine headaches, which did not entirely related to the headaches cosmetic surgery in the forehead. To date, the surgeon has more than 1000 operations of 450 patients.
"Migraine pain greatly affects the quality of patients life and the opportunity to get rid of them with the help of surgery offers a chance for many people who suffer from migraines," - said Dr. Guyuron. Together with other studies, this work, which lasted for about five years, provided evidence that strong migraine pain and the symptoms can be successfully treated with surgery, and the results remain for long. The work was presented at the annual conference of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons in Seattle.
