Temporal Migraine Surgery
Temporal migraines originate at your temples and may involve grinding of your teeth and TMJ (temporomandibular joint) discomfort.
Relief is provided by either releasing muscle fiber or freeing nerves through decompression surgery. The specific nature of the surgery depends on the trigger site. For temporal migraines, a tiny branch of the trigeminal nerve is released. This nerve provides feeling to the area.
Healing and Recovery
Swelling and bruising are common following the procedure. This generally lasts about a week to 10 days. Strenuous activity should be avoided for 3 weeks. The use of headache medication should significantly diminish following successful surgery.
