Summary

This early study at Mayo Clinic tests whether blocking a specific vein in the lower back (lumbar vein embolization) can safely reduce chronic headaches in people with Nutcracker physiology. Only 4 participants with daily pressure headaches that haven't responded to other treatments will be enrolled. The goal is to see if the procedure is safe and if it lowers headache pain and disability.
