Head of neck vessel surgery and stroke prevention unit of MC Erebouni Dr. Mesrop Shatakhyan, MD has carried out a number of such interventions, and has proven, that only surgical method of migraine treatment allows to eradicate the cause of disease, because most patients, suffering from migraine, are resistant to drug therapy.
“For a better surgical outcome, a thorough diagnosis of migraine is necessary, which can only be carried out by deactivating the trigger points of the patient in order to anesthetize them. The effect of getting rid of pains after diagnostic deactivation is observed in most patients and lasts 2-3 months. With a good result of anesthesia successful outcome of surgery with the disappearance of migraine attacks is realistic by 90-100%”- noted Dr. M. Shatakhyan.
According to the surgeon, some patients have to be operated from 8 -10 trigger points at one-stage. Usually the patient is discharged the next day after the surgery.
