What It Is

A small volume of local anesthetic (sometimes with steroid) is injected around specific scalp and facial nerves — greater occipital (GON), supraorbital, auriculotemporal, or sphenopalatine (SPG) — interrupting the pain circuit that drives chronic headache.

What to Expect

10–20 minute clinic procedure, ultrasound-guided for precision

Brief sting, then numbness over the treated area

Relief can begin within minutes to days

Effect lasts weeks to months; repeatable

Often combined with preventive medication or Botox

Who It Is For

Chronic migraine, occipital neuralgia, cluster headache, and refractory headache — including patients needing rapid relief while preventives take effect, and selected pregnancy cases where medication options are limited.
