Abstract:
Pediatric patients with ventriculoperitoneal shunts commonly present with headaches. We report 7 children with ventriculoperitoneal shunts and occipital headaches who received occipital nerve blocks. Eighty-six percent of patients had a history of at least 1 ventriculoperitoneal shunt revision. Headaches improved in every patient after the block. Two patients (29%) were symptom free 11 and 12 months after the block. Four patients (57%) required repeat occipital nerve blocks. Two underwent pulsed radiofrequency ablation. No complications were noted. When patients with ventriculoperitoneal shunt

Abstract:
Peripheral nerve blocks, including occipital nerve blocks (ONBs), have received increased attention and support as pain management tools during the previous few decades. Researchers have documented usefulness of ONBs particularly for acute headache management in the outpatient setting. The blocks also play a role in other healthcare settings, such as in the emergency department. The potential role of ONBs for the management of acute headache episodes in primary and emergency care settings is not yet fully practiced. In this paper, we will review block techniques of third occipital nerve (TON):

Objectives The importance and popularity of peripheral nerve block procedures have increased in the treatment of migraine. Greater occipital nerve (GON) block is a commonly used peripheral nerve block method, and there are numerous researches on its use in migraine treatment. Materials and methods A search of PubMed for English-language randomized controlled trials (RCT) and open studies on greater occipital nerve block between 1995 and 2018 was performed using greater occipital nerve, headache, and migraine as keywords.

Abstract:
Cranial nerve blocks (CNBs) have been used for the acute and preventive treatment of a variety of headaches, including migraine. The effectiveness of CNBs in migraine is usually observed beyond the duration of the nerve block, possibly due to central pain modulation. The most used target is the greater occipital nerve. Other commonly targeted nerves are the lesser occipital nerve and various branches of the trigeminal nerve, including the supratrochlear, supraorbital, and auriculotemporal nerves. CNBs are generally safe and well-tolerated procedures that can be performed in either emergency or

Introduction. Occipital neuralgia (ON) is a well-known cause of headache that affecting the posterior head at the occipital nerve(s) distribution. It is a multiple-factor clinical condition resulting from the pathology of the greater, lesser or third occipital nerve. Interventional therapy, such as occipital nerve block (ONB), is one of the various modalities that could be normally considered when the conservative wasn’t satisfying. Besides as effective treatment, ONB also used as an important diagnostic procedure for occipital neuralgia. Content. Currently, there is no a complete consensus am

Abstract:
Cervicogenic headache has a complex and poorly understood pathophysiology. Symptoms are typical and involve the C2 and C3 nerve roots. There are no specific recommendations for physical therapy, although occipital nerve block is a known pharmacological treatment. Some evidence suggests that hip rotation correction could aid in reducing cervical pain symptoms. The objective of this work is to evaluated the role of postural physiotherapy for hip rotation correction using the Maitland technique in patients with cervicogenic headache who underwent an occipital nerve block.

Abstract:
Compression of the occipital nerves can cause occipital headache. Several potential compression points have been identified along their course. One of these points is the hitherto undescribed instance of exostoses of anatomic structures of the occipital bone. A 34-year-old man with a prominent external occipital tuberance and superior nuchal lines complained of headache in the area of distribution of the greater occipital nerve with tenderness near the bony protrusion on palpation. A 44-year old woman experienced stabbing pain in the lateral orbital region with pressure on the ossified inserti

Abstract:
According to the International Headache Society, occipital neuralgia is classified as a cranial neuralgia. It is characterized by paroxysmal pain in the distribution of the greater, lesser, or third occipital nerve. The pain is typically located in the upper posterior cervical region and radiates to the vertex of the scalp, and it may be reproduced upon palpation of the involved nerve. The diagnosis of occipital neuralgia can definitively be made if the patients achieves pain relief after a local anesthetic nerve block. Occipital neuralgia is often idiopathic, but secondary structural etiologi

Occipital neuralgia is described as unilateral or bilateral paroxysmal, stabbing pain in the occipital distribution that often is associated with tenderness and occasionally is associated with dysesthesia. Typically, patients are treated conservatively with pharmacologic agents (e.g., NSAIDs, muscle relaxants, antiepileptics); however, conservative treatment has a high failure rate, often resulting in an interventional procedure (e.g., local nerve block, botulinum toxin injection) or surgery (e.g., ganglionectomy, neurectomy, or neuromodulation).

Context: Occipital neuralgia is characterized as uni or bilateral pain in the topography of the occipital nerve. The condition may be harrowing or acute and worsens with digital pressure on the back of the neck. The pain appears in the distribution of the greater (GON), minor (LON), and third (TON) occipital nerves. Besides that, it may radiate to the retro-orbital region and angle of the mandible, and it can be associated with paresthesias. A less common cause is direct head trauma, and it is believed that the mechanism for its development is the injury or entrapment of the nerve fibers due t
