Migraine surgery is an outpatient procedure which addresses peripheral nerves through limited incisions. Depending on the symptoms of the patient and the screening results following nerve blocks or Botox, different areas of the head and neck may be addressed to treat the nerves found to be the migraine trigger in a given patient.
The supraorbital nerve is one of two terminal branches - the other being the supratrochlear nerve - of the frontal nerve (itself a branch of the ophthalmic nerve (CN V 1)). [1] It exits the orbit via the supraorbital foramen/notch before splitting into a medial branch and a lateral branch. It innervates the skin of the forehead, upper eyelid ...
By interrupting these signals, Botox temporarily relaxes targeted muscles, which can reduce the appearance of wrinkles caused by repetitive movements when injected in, say, the forehead.
Botulinum toxin, or botulinum neurotoxin (commonly called botox), is a neurotoxic protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum and related species. [24] It prevents the release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine from axon endings at the neuromuscular junction, thus causing flaccid paralysis. [25]
No studies have indicated a long-term negative effect of Botox, though there are possible side effects to be aware of: Swelling, pain, and bruising at the injection site, headache and flu symptoms ...
The sensory nerves of the forehead connect to the ophthalmic branch of the trigeminal nerve and to the cervical plexus, and lie within the subcutaneous fat. The motor nerves of the forehead connect to the facial nerve. [2] The ophthalmic branch of the trigeminal nerve, the supraorbital nerve, divides at the orbital rim into two parts in the ...
The supratrochlear nerve is a branch of the frontal nerve, itself a branch of the ophthalmic nerve (CN V 1) from the trigeminal nerve (CN V). It provides sensory innervation to the skin of the forehead and the upper eyelid .
The frontal nerve may rarely be affected by schwannoma, a benign nerve tumor affecting its myelin sheath. [2] [3] This may be between the superior orbital fissure and the supraorbital foramen or supraorbital notch. [2] It may cause damage to the adjacent orbital part of the frontal bone. [2]
