Greater occipital nerve blockade in cervicogenic headache.
Cervicocogenic headache (CeH) is a relatively common disorder. Although on ideal treatment is available so far, blockades in different structures and nerves may be temporarily effective. We studied the effects of 1-2 mL 0.5% bupivacaine injection at the ipsilateral greater occipital nerve (GON) in 41 CeH patients. The pain is significantly reduced both immediately and as long as 7 days after th...
متن کاملGreater occipital nerve blockade for cluster headache.
Cluster headache is perhaps the most painful of the primary headache disorders. Its treatment includes acute, transitional, and preventive therapy. Despite the availability of many treatments, cluster headache patients can still be difficult to treat. We treated 14 cluster headache patients with greater occipital nerve block as transitional therapy (treatment initiated at the same time as preve...

rhythms (for example, by temporary transcutaneous pacing, magnet). • The often-given recommendation of application of the 'current in a fashion that it will not cross the generator ⁄ lead ⁄ chest system' might be of less relevance than currently thought. In our case, repositioning the return electrode away from the apex of the heart did not result in any change of the current necessary to trans...
متن کاملPulsed radiofrequency therapy versus greater occipital nerve block in the management of refractory cervicogenic headache - a pilot study.
The aim of this pilot study was to compare the efficacy of pulsed radiofrequency to the greater occipital nerve versus a greater occipital nerve block with a mixture of local anaesthetic and steroid in the management of refractory cervicogenic headache. We enrolled 30 patients suffering from refractory cervicogenic headache. Patients were randomly allocat...
متن کاملUltrasound-guided greater occipital nerve block for patients with occipital headache and short term follow up
BACKGROUND The greater occipital nerve (GON) block has been frequently used for different types of headache, but performed with rough estimates of anatomic landmarks. Our study presents the values of the anatomic parameters and estimates the effectiveness of the ultrasound-guided GON blockade. METHODS The GON was detected using ultrasound technique and distance from external occipital protube...
