When it was originally posted, I probably could summarize it but that was quite some time ago. The thinking has shifted regarding the benefits of an MVD on atypical pain and the timing seems to be more important (as in the earlier the MVD from the onset of pain, the better). I'm pulling this from a very medicated memory so take it with a grain of salt. Hence, I still urge anyone considering an MVD to watch it. Dr. Casey is a practicing neurosurgeon in Michigan and while the video is long, its very watchable for patients.
