Non Surgical Treatment For Migraine Headache

Treatments for Interventional Pain Management;

  • Sphenopalatine Ganglion block — The sphenopalatine ganglion is a small organ buried inside the skull about the size of a grain of corn. It is responsible for transmitting pain from the face to the brain, among other things. One can successfully halt pain signals from reaching the brain by applying a modest quantity of local anaesthetic to it. If the block works, your doctor may suggest radiofrequency ablation to provide long-term pain relief. This therapy is helpful for several sorts of facial pain; thus, it can function even if the particular diagnosis is uncertain or ambiguous.
  • Stellate Ganglion Block – Stellate ganglion is a well-known element of the sympathetic nervous system for its function in pain transmission. To prevent pain signals from reaching the brain, a small dose of Bupivacaine, a long-acting local anaesthetic, is injected near the ganglion using ultrasound guidance.

Spinal Cord Stimulation– It is a treatment used to treat several pain disorders. Small electrodes are inserted in the epidural area near the spinal cord, similar to the technology used in cardiac pacemakers. These electrodes will provide a modest electrical current that will interfere with pain signals as they pass through the spinal cord. The leads are put in the neck to stimulate nerves in the back of the head and the face in the case of facial pain.
