Summary

This pilot study aimed to see if blocking a specific artery in the brain could help people with chronic migraines that don't respond to drugs. The procedure, called middle meningeal artery embolization, uses tiny particles or coils to block the vessel. However, the study was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no results are available.
