Clinical Trial Summary

Combined migraine and cervicogenic headache present significant challenges in clinical management due to their complex and overlapping pathophysiologies. Both conditions involve the trigeminocervical complex, suggesting a potential shared anatomical and neurobiological basis


Clinical Trial Description

Traditional treatment approaches for these headaches often include pharmacological interventions, but in cases of refractory or inadequate response, interventional techniques targeting the greater occipital nerve (GON) have gained attention. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has gained recognition as a potential therapeutic option for patients with refractory combined migraine and cervicogenic headaches. The proximal and distal ultrasound-guided approaches are widely utilized for GON RFA. These approaches aim to disrupt pain signals transmitted by the GON and provide relief of pain for these headache disorders ;
