Why do migraines occur?

  There are many causes of migraines, some are genetic, there are family ones. Some are caused by endocrine changes, some are caused by changes in hormone levels, and some are metabolic problems, so migraine is caused by many factors.  In normal people, the blood vessels and nerves on the scalp are in a companion relationship and do not compress each other, but in migraine patients, the blood vessels or other tissues on the scalp may cause compression of the nerves by jamming, winding, or adhesions, and when the blood vessels in the compressed segment change for various reasons, some kind of pain-causing transmitters may be released to stimulate the nerves and trigger pain attacks. Based on this theory of vascular nerve compression in migraine, we have developed microvascular decompression treatment for intractable migraine headaches, and obtained very significant treatment results. We find the pressure point between the blood vessels and the nerve at the site of the lesion under a microscope, isolate the responsible blood vessels, and protect the nerve to completely cure the migraine. Microvascular decompression is performed under local anesthesia, and the patient is conscious and in little pain. The procedure is operated under a microscope and is very safe with essentially zero risk. The incisions are only 3-5 cm and are within the hairline, so there is no concern about aesthetic impact.
