The Reed Procedure℠ - Overview and Key Points

“It’s a surgical implant for people with the worst headaches imaginable.”

Who is a Candidate for the Reed Procedure℠?

“The patient that is a good candidate for this procedure is having severe debilitating headaches. Nothing is working. The headaches are controlling their lives.”

What is the Trial Procedure?

“There are two steps involved in this treatment. The first is what we call a test or a trial stimulator. And that’s where we put in a temporary stimulator for a three-day period and allow the patient to see for themselves if it works.”

Can you walk us through the test stimulator process?

“In terms of how invasive it is, it is a procedure, but no surgical incisions are made. We liken the invasiveness of a test stimulator to an IV in your arm.”

When would the Permanent Procedure Occur?

“It requires a second trip to Dallas. Most of our patients come great distances, and we understand that. If you’re returning for a second trip, I assure you that you will be extremely happy. It means the test worked, and the patient will know this will change their life.”

How do I schedule a Trial, and does insurance cover the Reed Procedure℠?

“We work with virtually all of the insurance carriers, and it’s covered by Medicare.”

Can it restore a full and active life?

Can I expect "Medication Free Migraine Relief?

“You’ll find that, for the most part, you will either not need medications, or your need will be dramatically reduced.”

Can the Reed Procedure℠ help relieve Auras, Nausea, Light Sensitivity, and Other Associated Symptoms?

“What we see in patients that respond to the trial stimulator; it’s not just the headache that responds. It’s everything. It’s the nausea, the vomiting, the light sensitivity.”
