the main ‘solutions’ would be increasing surrounding tissue volume, improving skin thickness, or enhancing overall brow ridge prominence

Supraorbital Rim Implants or androgens if your under 16 years old

solution please

Immediate/Non-Surgical Relief (For Neuralgia)
If the pain is caused by nerve irritation or entrapment (e.g., from tight goggles,, injury, or stress), these methods are commonly used:
  • Identify and Remove Triggers: Avoid tight headwear (goggles, helmet) or repetitive movements that aggravate the area.
  • Medications: Anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can reduce swelling, while anticonvulsants (like gabapentin) are used for nerve pain management.
  • Nerve Blocks: A specialist can inject a local anesthetic (like lidocaine) and/or corticosteroids into the area of the supraorbital notch to block pain signals.
  • Cold/Hot Compresses: Applying packs to the affected area can provide temporary relief.
  • Physical Therapy/Massage: Massage, particularly loosening the muscles on the forehead and nose, can release nerve tension.
  • Botox Injections: These can relax muscles that might be compressing the nerve, providing long-term relief for some patients.
  • TENS Devices: Using devices like Cefaly can help manage nerve pain.

2. Surgical Interventions (For Severe/Chronic Cases)
If conservative treatments fail, surgical options may be considered to "fix" the physical entrapment of the nerve:
  • Decompression Surgery: A surgeon removes tissue, muscle, or bone that is compressing the nerve as it leaves the skull through the notch.
  • Nerve Excision (Neurectomy): For chronic, unbearable cases, the nerve can be removed, though this causes permanent numbness in the forehead.
  • Radiofrequency Thermocoagulation: This procedure uses heat to damage the nerve, reducing pain signals, and is considered if conservative treatments fail.

3. Fixing Structural/Trauma-Related Damage
If the issue is a broken bone or structural deformity at the notch:
  • Orbital Fracture Repair: Surgery (often using titanium mesh or plates) is required to reconstruct the orbital rim.
  • Surgical Reconstruction: A surgeon may use bone grafts or synthetic materials to fill defects, ensuring the supraorbital ridge is restored.

Disclaimer: Supraorbital notch pain can be complex and sometimes mimics migraines or sinus headaches. It is highly recommended to consult a neurologist or pain specialist for an accurate diagnosis before attempting to treat it.
