2. Nerve decompression - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerve_decompression

   Nerve decompressions are still a relatively new surgery, however a picture emerges from looking at the outcomes of some of the most studied nerve decompressions: carpal tunnel release, sciatic nerve decompression, and migraine surgery. Even within these commonly performed surgeries, the measurement of outcomes is not always standardized.

3. Microvascular decompression - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microvascular_decompression

   Microvascular decompression (MVD), also known as the Jannetta procedure, [1] is a neurosurgical procedure used to treat trigeminal neuralgia (along with other cranial nerve neuralgias), a pain syndrome characterized by severe episodes of intense facial pain, and hemifacial spasm.

4. Migraine surgery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Migraine_surgery

   Migraine surgery is a surgical operation undertaken with the goal of reducing or preventing migraines.Migraine surgery most often refers to surgical nerve decompression of one or several nerves in the head and neck which have been shown to trigger migraine symptoms in many migraine sufferers.

5. Facial nerve decompression - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facial_nerve_decompression

   The aim of decompression surgery is to open the affected area and nerve sheath, and to release pressure. This reduces compression on the nerve fibers, improves blood circulation and minimizes damage to distal nerve fibers.

6. Carpal tunnel surgery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carpal_tunnel_surgery

   The problem is difficult to address, and revision surgery is less successful than primary carpal tunnel release surgery. [43] Injury to the median nerve proper occurs in 0.06% of cases. [44] Risk of nerve injury has been found to be higher in patients undergoing endoscopic CTR compared with open, though most are temporary neurapraxias. [45]

7. Nerve compression syndrome - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerve_compression_syndrome

   Nerve decompressions aim to surgically access and explore some segment of nerve, removing any tissue that may be causing compression. In this way a nerve decompression can directly address the underlying cause of entrapment. A nerve decompression can either be done by open surgery or laparoscopic surgery.
