Despite the availability of many treatments, cluster headache patients can still be difficult to treat.

متن کاملGreater 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.

متن کاملOccipital nerve blockade in chronic cluster headache patients and functional connectivity between trigeminal and occipital nerves.
Headache syndromes often involve occipital and neck symptoms, suggesting a functional connectivity between nociceptive trigeminal and cervical afferents. Although reports regarding effective occipital nerve blockades in cluster headache exist, the reason for the improvement of the clinical symptoms is not known. Using occipital nerve blockade and nociceptive blink reflexes, we were able to demo...

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...
