Abstract

The present study reports two cases of chronic migraines associated with superficial temporal artery aneurysms. The patients received aneurysm's ligation, with no other surgical maneuvers. In the six months following surgery, both patients were disease-free and did not experience any migraine attacks. Evidence-based medicine ranking: Level V.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a case report, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
