Does Hair Transplant cure Migraine too?
NYTimes.com – Plastic Surgery May Also Ease Migraines
Personal experience — after HT, forehead lines decreased considerably. Perhaps because of increased skin tension after a part of skin is removed?
From the article:
The double-blind study, published in the journal Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, found that more than 80 percent of patients who underwent surgery in one of three “trigger sites” significantly reduced their number of headaches compared with more than 55 percent of the group who had sham surgery. More than half of the patients with the real surgery reported a “complete elimination” of headaches compared with about 4 percent of the placebo group.
No, a hair transplant would not cure migraines. Maybe it causes less headaches as you are not so preoccupied with balding, but a hair transplant wouldn’t be among the trigger sites the article refers to. Plus, this is all very experimental. Lots of work remains to be done, but thank you for bringing this to my attention.
