new surgical technique to fight migraines
Article here from sciencedaily about a new surgical technique, which I've heard of, using Botox to pinpoint a muscle or a trigger point and then removing that muscle. I believe this is called occipital neuralgia surgery but I could be wrong.
I know a lot of neurologists are using Botox, mine included, and I've had it twice. It didn't work on its own. I might look into this procedure, though it's scary.
