Peripheral Nerve Stimulation for Occipital Neuralgia
Correspondence To the Editor: Occipital neuralgia (ON) is the third most common headache syndrome following migraine and tension‑type headache. In recent years, peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) has been used to relieve severe pain caused by some types of neuralgia when conservative medical treatments and block procedures were not effective. PNS is a kind of neuromodulation using spinal cord s...

متن کاملthe effect of greater occipital nerve block on chronic migraine
background: greater occipital never block has been shown to be an effective treatment in patients with cluster or tension type headache but there are very few studies investigating its effect in patients with chronic migraine. this study was to determine the effectiveness of greater occipital never block on headache in patients with chronic migraine. we designed an interventional before-after s...
متن کاملIdentification of greater occipital nerve landmarks for the treatment of occipital neuralgia.
Important structures involved in the pathogenesis of occipital headache include the aponeurotic attachments of the trapezius and semispinalis capitis muscles to the occipital bone. The greater occipital nerve (GON) can become entrapped as it passes through these aponeuroses, causing symptoms of occipital neuralgia. The aim of this study was to identify topographic landmarks for accurate identif...
