Facial & Cranial Pain Nerve Decompression Procedures

WHAT IS IT AND WHAT ARE THE PROCEDURES?

Nerve decompression procedures for facial and cranial pain

Nerves that are compressed or damaged can cause pain all across the body. In the face, head, and neck that can mean debilitating headaches, muscle spasms or unrelenting facial, throat or ear pain. Microvascular nerve decompression is a surgical procedure performed to improve or restore nerve function by mobilizing or shifting structures, such as a vein or artery that is compressing the affected nerve and inserting a tiny “pillow” between the vessel and the nerve. Nerve compression is a relatively common cause of pain in the head, neck, and face, and microvascular nerve decompression can reduce or relieve symptoms in many different pain conditions.
