Effect of bariatric surgery on headache frequency, duration and severity
After bariatric surgery, a statistically significant decrease in headache in terms of impact and severity was observed. This situation reveals that bariatric surgery has a direct and significant effect on headache. In patients with a BMI value on the borderline for bariatric surgery, these values can be lowered slightly in case of severe headache.
