Dr. Alizadeh and his team, who are seasoned in treating a vast number of patients through various reconstructive treatments, the facility provides personalized solutions including the ability to offer migraine surgery to his suffering patients.
Who is a candidate for migraine surgery?
Candidates for migraine surgical intervention are carefully evaluated to ascertain their suitability. Dr. Alizadeh assesses individuals through a comprehensive query process. Prospective patients are examined based on the duration and frequency of migraine occurrences, the severity of symptoms, and their impact on day-to-day activities. Identifying specific trigger points is also crucial. A checklist for patient candidacy includes:
- Duration of migraine history
- Frequency and longevity of episodes
- Intensity level of migraines
- Impact on daily functioning
- Localization of trigger areas
- Response to pharmaceutical treatments
- Improvement post-BOTOX® therapy
If these factors align favorably, Dr. Alizadeh discusses the surgical procedure, expected recovery process, and potential risks involved. It is important to understand that while many may experience relief, surgical outcomes cannot be guaranteed universally.
