Around 17% of migraine headaches may have a surgical solution.
CLINICAL EVALUATION & CANDIDACY
Migraine is fundamentally a multifaceted central nervous system disorder characterized by neurovascular dysregulation and cortical hypersensitivity. Surgical decompression is strictly indicated only when extracranial peripheral nerve entrapment acts as a validated trigger point in carefully screened individuals.
PROCEDURAL CLARITY & APPROACH
What does nerve decompression surgery involve?
Nerve decompression is a targeted, minimally invasive peripheral procedure designed to liberate irritated sensory nerves from constricting surrounding tissue. It addresses chronic pain at its anatomical origin.
CLINICAL CANDIDACY
Who may benefit from an evaluation?
A comprehensive evaluation relies on detailed clinical history and focused physical examination.
OUR ADMISSIONS & INTAKE PROCESS
Start with an individualized evaluation.
Every person's journey requires a thoughtful, tailored approach. We guide you through four clear steps designed to understand your unique clinical background and establish a realistic plan forward.
POST-OPERATIVE GUIDANCE
What should you expect after surgery?
Every recovery journey is tailored to the individual. Understanding each stage helps ensure a smooth, comfortable healing process and long-term surgical success.
Individualized Recovery
Healing timelines vary depending on procedure type, personal health profile, and natural healing speed. Your surgical team will provide a customized post-op protocol, including personalized comfort measures and ongoing guidance.
Incision Care & Hygiene
Keeping the surgical site clean and dry is essential for proper healing. Follow specific dressing instructions, monitor for normal healing signs, and contact your clinical team if you observe unexpected changes.
Follow-Up Appointments
Scheduled follow-up consultations allow your surgeon to evaluate tissue repair, assess progress, and refine recovery recommendations. Attending all visits ensures steady and safe milestone progression.
Gradual Return to Activity
Physical exertion and routine tasks should be reintroduced progressively according to your care plan. Rest is vital during early stages, while gentle movement will be guided at designated recovery intervals.
Please strictly follow all prescribed instructions provided by Dr. Kassis throughout your recovery.
