Comment on Would a surgical puncture to the skull relieve a pressure headache?

Disclaimer: Not a doctor.

With that said, my late father had a friend that had extreme cranial pressure on his brain, causing constant extreme migraines.

I was told that he’s literally the $6 million dollar man, because they had to install a shunt valve in his skull to relieve excess pressure on his brain.

So I guess even though the brain doesn’t inherently sense pain directly, I guess that excess pressure is still somehow sensed in the form of migraines.

Again, not a doctor, but thanks for coming to my brief Ted Talk.
