Migraine treatment in Lausanne
Drs. Scherer and Pietramaggiori were the first doctors to introduce migraine surgery to Switzerland.
This minimally invasive procedure decompresses the affected peripheral nerves.
Global Migraine Institute
Located in the heart of Lausanne, Switzerland, the Global Migraine Institute is a globally unique center dedicated to the advanced management of facial pain, such as migraines, occipital neuralgia and other complex facial pain, guided by pioneers and visionaries Dr Giorgio Pietramaggiori and Dr Saja Scherer.
Under their guidance, the center offers a comprehensive multidisciplinary approach, combining surgery, neurology and radiology, for a holistic and personalized management of severe craniofacial pain. Both doctors specialize not only in the surgical treatment of migraines and neuralgias, but were also the first pioneers to develop Botox injection treatment for migraines as early as 2012, establishing new standards of care for patients refractory to conventional treatments.
The founders combine innovative minimally invasive peripheral nerve surgery and regenerative treatments through “cell therapy”, scientific research to improve the quality of life of patients. Their work has led to the development of new non-invasive approaches for cluster headaches and trigeminal neuralgia, offering solutions where traditional treatments fail.
Thanks to this multidisciplinary and innovative vision, the Global Migraine Institute offers personalized, safe and effective treatments, while remaining at the forefront of innovation and scientific research to durably improve patients’ quality of life.
