Described herein is a method of treating migraines using PFA ablation technology which includes advancing a pulse field ablation delivery member into a nasal cavity (both unilateral and bilateral) of a patient with the pulse field ablation member in a first collapsed configuration and contacting a surface of a nasal cavity tissue with the pulse field ablation delivery member without penetrating or piercing the nasal cavity tissue surface. The treatment further includes reconfiguring the pulse field ablation delivery member from the first collapsed configuration to an expanded configuration after introducing the pulse field ablation member into the desired position within the nasal cavity, and ablating a target treatment site with the pulse field ablation delivery member in order to treat or prevent at least one of the group of medical conditions, wherein the target treatment site includes at least one nasal nerve tissue or nasal blood vessel with or without contact.
A method for treating or preventing in a patient any one of a number of medical conditions in a group consisting of:
