What Is Chiari Malformation?
7. What Treatment Options Are Available for Chiari Malformation?
In cases without symptoms, treatment is usually not necessary. Those with mild or moderate manifestations can often manage their CM by addressing individual symptoms. This can include pain management strategies and a reduction in activities to minimize fatigue. Lifestyle modifications can make other indications, such as light sensitivity, more manageable.
As symptoms progress or the condition deteriorates, additional treatment may be necessary. Cranial decompression surgery is the preferred surgical intervention where CM symptoms and complications cannot be managed through less invasive methods.
