DISCOVERY STORY
The director of the health and the responsible of the nervous surgery were very angry due these surgeries, which we began to do in
The patients began to visit me due successful surgeries at
As I mentioned above, I was speaking to my patients in the corridor, so I cant do a clinical examination so I had a very simple idea, which enables me to distinguish between the vascular headaches and headaches caused by disease inside the brain. The idea is to do a finger pressure over the artery (Superficial Temporal Artery) -in front of tent of the ear-, then I ask the patient weather the tension of the headache decreases or not. If he answered yes, it means that it is a headache of vascular origin, and if the patient answered no, I make a complete nervous clinical examination to him in order to be sure if he has a disease inside the brain or not. As I'm a skull base neurosurgeon so involuntary I choice the place where the main STA branch appear in front of the ear before it do its bifurcation into 2 branches frontal and parietal. This place was the key of migraine solution. I was surprised because all patients answered that: “the headaches disappeared completely when pressing by the finger in this place.
At this time I knew the secret of migraine headaches and any vascular headaches that only extra-cranial arteries causes the headache itself while intra-cranial arteries causes all accompanied symptoms.
I thought directly about migraine patients, because only in migraine when I cure the headaches, so I cure the disease itself.
I called the place where I do pressure over the STA in the front of the ear for frontal-temporal-ocular migraine place # 1, Some cases of ocular migraine and all cases of cluster headaches they need additional pressure over the branches of STA over the eye and I called it place # 2.
Also I discovered the points # 3 for migraine headaches in the back region of the head, (basilar migraine). Place # 3 for pressure over the occipital artery located behind each ear.
My migraine pressure points give 3 helps to migraine patients:
1- Make patient understand his disease, as an easy disease that can be easy get rid of it.
2- Self cure using this migraine points to do my simple migraine devices.
3- Simple surgical treatment, under a local anesthesia as it’s only a skin surgery and without any kinds of side effects.
