Hi Mike NZ : I’m sorry for calling your question silly. I should have said that the way you asked was a complicated way of asking, “to interpret you question correctly was... “Why is it that if a small part or section of the TG nerve is irritated why does the entire nerve react?” in other words he was asking why is it that just by putting a restriction around a blood vessel in my upper jaw stop my entire trigeminal nerve from reacting?!!? And to answer nicely, “the trigeminal nerve is more than very sensitive and delicate, So when the trigeminal nerve is irritated or over stimulated, (even by blood pressure) the entire branch of the nerve reacts, It is similar to that of a tree in that, if the trunk of a tree is damaged all the leaves on the tree will be affected. And that is why the arterial ligation is so effective; it prevents pressure and inflammation around the TG nerve or the trunk of the tree in this analogy. And as far as procedures goes, its much safer and, risk free when compared to Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS). The arterial ligation restricts the blood flow around the TG nerve and to make things worse this artery is tiny, only 1mm in diameter. Keep your eye open for the release of a document soon to be public from The American Journal of Maxillo Facial Surgery re: cluster headaches.
The answer to your second question regarding the Deep Brain Stimulation DBS is just another type/method to aborting, treating or coping with an attack by installing a pace maker probe into a part of the brain called the Hypothalamus region. The aim in this is to stop/prevent an attack and ultimately Cure the cluster headache. (sorry Brew for using those two words together), they do this by stimulating or treating the area of the brain that reacts when we have an attack that results in the arteries to dilate of arteries . To put it simply, it’s a way of approaching the issue in the part of the brain that demonstrates an unrecognized activity when we are been assaulted by CH itself). It is currently the accepted view that when a Ch attack occurs, an abnormal brain function within a normal brain structure is evident Cluster headaches are idiopathic type headaches with many similarities to migraine, (doctors don’t know why the brain functions abnormally in normal structured brain tissue called the hypothalamic grey matter. all they know is it does. ( on a spiritual level The place in the brain where the activity happens is next to the penile gland AKA the third eye)
They figured this out by identifying and observing brain function of CH patients of a range of sexes and ages, using a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) Using a radiographic technique (called a positron emission tomography) they were able to measure and replica the frequency of energy in the Hypothalamus, obviously when we were not having an attack. Then by installing a probe into that region of our brain that can imitate the frequency Hypothalamus area in rest state using a device that is similar in nature to a (heart) pace maker except it is installed into the centre of our brain, just like a pace maker maintains the rhythm of someone with heart problems, a “Cluster-headache-Pacemaker” maintains and even brainwave rhythm. But they have to drill a hole 3/4 “ inch diameter hole through your scull in the top of your fore head to get the probe in, then they run a wire under your scull towards the back of your neck, then under your neck skin into your chest where the pace maker is installed in you forever. The DBS pacemaker monitors the energy in your brain, and emulates a stable frequency through its probe into the Hypothalamus region of the brain, It comes with risk of infection and disabilities of its own like sensitivity to magnetic machines, arc welders and has been known to set off security equipment like when leaving a shop, get ready with your story as they cavity search you and as a suspected shop lifter. Plus the batteries need changing every once in a while.
@brew maybe there isn’t 1 pill that cures all... but what if 10 pills has cured 10 headaches!?! for me that was a good enough start. Especially when I was willing to try anything. And all Ligation surgery happed just under my skin and most importantly outside my scull. So I did I took a chance, and here I am eating lots of chocolate (not apologies) and drinking loads beer, I’m completely cluster free nearly five months later. And I don’t have to worry about a machine implanted in my chest nor the batteries, or a ¾ inch hole drilled in my scull. That’s why Dr. Shevel’s course of action called an arterial ligation was the safest bet to getting cured. Watch my video on you tube.... You guessed it the title is... “Cluster headache cure by Dr. Shevel” watch it and weep tears of joy! My Chickens. Bwahahaha.
