What is the Alpha Procedure Migraine Treatment?

For those living with chronic migraines, the constant pain and discomfort can often feel overwhelming, especially when traditional migraine treatments fail to provide relief. There is an innovative solution that can help stop chronic migraine pain and give you your life back: the Alpha Procedure.

The Alpha Procedure is a cutting-edge treatment for chronic migraines proven to help provide relief for those suffering from a treatment-resistant chronic migraine condition. Unlike traditional migraine treatments that often focus on masking symptoms, the Alpha Procedure addresses the root cause of pain through advanced neurostimulation technology.

Here’s how it works: Our team starts with an initial review of your medical history, migraine symptoms, and past treatments to determine if the Alpha Procedure is a good option for your specific chronic migraine symptoms. If you are a candidate for treatment, we will schedule a free virtual consultation to assess your migraine condition and walk you through the Alpha Procedure process. 

Once our remote patient approval process is complete, you’ll undergo a 2–3 day trial with a wearable, external neurostimulation device, which provides targeted electronic stimulation to interrupt the pain signals responsible for chronic migraines. If the trial is successful at disrupting those migraine signals and reducing pain levels related to your chronic migraines, we will then move forward with the minimally invasive implantation of the permanent device. The implant procedure is performed under anesthesia at a surgical hospital, has a short recovery time of 1-2 days, and is completely reversible if necessary.

The Alpha Procedure has been shown to significantly reduce the severity of migraines, helping patients regain control over their lives. One recent study, published by the National Library of Medicine, found that in chronic migraine patients, nerve stimulation techniques like those used in the Alpha Procedure are effective at:

  • Reducing migraine frequency by 56%
  • Reducing the intensity of migraines by 49%
  • Reducing migraine episode duration by 64% Reducing the need for pain medications for 75% of patients

With no reported postoperative complications, all patients indicated they would recommend the nerve stimulation procedure to others. Ready to get started? Request your free virtual consultation with our migraine experts and get back to living life without chronic migraine pain today.
