Nerve Decompression for Migraine by Dr. Vicky Jain · Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon
When chronic migraines don’t respond to medication, they can take over daily life. For the right candidates, surgery that relieves pressure on trigger nerves can meaningfully reduce — or end — the attacks. Dr. Vicky Jain assesses carefully to see whether it can help you.
Migraine surgery is a specialized procedure designed to reduce or eliminate chronic migraine headaches by targeting trigger points where specific nerves or muscles may be compressing surrounding tissues and causing pain. During surgery, these nerves are decompressed to reduce pressure, inflammation, and migraine frequency.
Dr. Vicky Jain works with neurologists and headache specialists to confirm candidacy. Through detailed assessments, he identifies compression points and performs decompression through small, well-hidden incisions with plastic surgical precision.
Recovery usually takes about 1 to 2 weeks for initial healing. Most patients return to light activities in a few days, with gradual migraine improvement over 4 to 6 weeks and fuller results by 3 to 6 months.
