Özet
Some anatomical changes might trigger headaches in people who have migraine, and that surgical applications eliminating the structural problems in treatment-resistant migraine patients are effective in pain treatment. A total of 36 patients, who did not respond to different treatment options without aura migraine and chronic migraine that were showing synonasal and anatomical changes in synonasal nasal endoscopy and/or paranasal sinus CT screening, responding insufficiently and/or approximately one year period also did not respond to different treatment options, were included in this study between June 2016 and September 2019. The relation between migraine episodes and synonasal symptoms was found to be statistically significant. A significant difference was detected between nasal congestion and obstruction, postnasal discharge, and runny nose in patients with attacks compared to patients without attacks. The difference between mean pain severity values was statistically significant when compared to preoperative values (3.0(3.0∼4.0)) and post-operative values (1.0(0∼1.0)). When the pain severity after the operation (1.0(1.0∼2.75)) was compared with the severity of pain before the operation (5.0 (3.0∼5.0)), it was determined that there was a significant decrease in pain severity in patients diagnosed with chronic migraine, the difference between the mean pain severity values was statistically significant, and the prevalence of pain decreased at a significant level after the operation. The results of the present study indicate that the elimination of synonasal structural changes, which were hypothesized to trigger pain in migraine patients, could have a pain-reducing effect on the frequency and severity of the pain.
