More about this episode
Dr. Qureshi covers his pioneering work in intra-arterial lidocaine injections and their effect on patients with severe migraines. Injections have shown a significant relief in symptoms immediately following treatment. He emphasizes the importance of identifying the right patient group for such treatments and highlights the potential of interventions beyond standard drug therapy. The conversation also explores the role of interventional neuroradiology in treating migraines and the potential development of new medical devices and alternatives to lidocaine. The podcast ends with Dr. Qureshi endorsing the upcoming Brain Conference and encouraging participation.
