occipital nerve injection
Treatment for Cluster Headache
Occipital nerve injection for Cluster Headache typically involves local anesthetic agents (such as lidocaine) and/or corticosteroids targeting the greater and lesser occipital nerves. The procedure works by blocking neural transmission, reducing inflammatory responses, and modulating pain signaling pathways in the occipital region. This intervention can provide temporary pain relief and potentially interrupt the neurogenic inflammatory cascade associated with cluster headache pathogenesis.
