Stumbled on some articles about a mechanical device which cardiologists ignore, to reduce high blood pressure! Likewise, very few cardiologists use EECP to reduce angina and microvessels causing constrictions! Why, because, its much cheaper. The contraindication for EECP being blood clots or vascular diseases and heart failure. Otherwise, ZERO risks.
Read some interesting articles from French neurosurgeons and neuropsychiatrics, in regards to teeth and brain issues. Bridges, fillings, implants, root canals, anesthetics are to be avoided, all impact brain health, extraction first line of choice. ;D
Trepanation may be of benefit. A few years ago, I read about a man, who requested trepanation, left open, bringing relief. Avoid DIYs, ;D
Note that meds are known triggers, of intracranial hyper/hypotension in the article is mentioned
tetracycline, and other meds!!

Abstract
Effective management of intracranial hypertension involves meticulous avoidance of factors that precipitate or aggravate increased intracranial pressure. When intracranial pressure becomes elevated, it is important to rule out new mass lesions that should be surgically evacuated. Medical management of increased intracranial pressure should include sedation, drainage of cerebrospinal fluid, and osmotherapy with either mannitol or hypertonic saline. For intracranial hypertension refractory to initial medical management, barbiturate coma, hypothermia, or decompressive craniectomy should be considered. Steroids are not indicated and may be harmful in the treatment of intracranial hypertension resulting from traumatic brain injury.
Intracranial hypertension is a common neurologic complication in critically ill patients; it is the common pathway in the presentation of many neurologic and non-neurologic disorders. The underlying pathophysiology of increased intracranial pressure (ICP) is the subject of intense basic and clinical research, which has led to advances in understanding of the physiology related to ICP. Few specific treatment options for intracranial hypertension have been subjected to randomized trials, however, and most management recommendations are based on clinical experience.
