Dr. Bahman Guyuron, Chair of Plastic Surgery at University Hospitals Case Medical Center and Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine noted a decade ago that many patients who underwent forehead rejuvenation saw a disappearance in migraine symptoms after surgery. It was this astute observation which gave him the idea to use surgery as a means to alleviate the pain of migraines. By detecting superficial trigger sites on the muscles of the head and then removing or diminishing their affects on nerves, Dr. Guyuron has shown strong evidence that surgical manipulation of one or more migraine trigger sites can successfully eliminate or reduce the frequency, duration, and/or intensity of migraine headaches with lasting results.

Good for Dr. Guyuron. Will try to follow up on this. Imagine this kind of surgery would be expensive and carry some risks. Perhaps a surgeon across the border in Mexico will see if he can adopt Dr. Guyuron’s technique! (My wife had weight loss surgery there recently for about a third of what it would cost here)
Sounds like some chiropractor using an trigger activator is trying to get into the action here.

i want to thank dr. Guyuron. I am in the process of tryin for this procedure. But wether i am accepted or not i see this as a miracle for those who suffer migrains. If you have or know someone who suffers from them you know how much migrains interfer with life even when you dont have one your always worried about getting one and if it will interfer with whatever your doing. I am scared to have children just cause if i am alone with my children and no one is available and i happen to get one how will i take care of them i cant even take care of myself it worries me and i’ve always dreamed of having children. I just want dr. Guyuron to know that what he is doing is giving us a second chance at life. This is truly a miracle even if i am not accepted for the procedure it is giving someone else and their family a healthier life and lifestyle. Thank you so much
