Chronic Headache

Headache disorders are among the most common disorders of the nervous system. Globally it has been estimated that 47% of the adult population have headache at least once within a year. A Sphenopalatine Ganglion Block is a procedure that administers medication to the SPG, which modulates nerve impulses to provide effective and long-lasting pain relief to patients with different headache disorders, including migraine, tension and cluster headache, as well as headaches with mixed symptoms.

The use of an SPG block with local anesthetic is a minimally invasive and instantly effective procedure. Allevio nerve block catheter helps patients with migraine, Horton’s disease and trigeminal neuralgia when current treatment is not enough.

When used, the internal catheter is automatically bent so that it enters the back of the nose, Sphenopalatina. The purpose is to block the SPG ganglion. A 4% local anesthesia is injected through the catheter.
