  • Efficacy of Peripheral Nerve Blocks for Acute Episodic Migraine Treatment and Prophylaxis Rochester, Minn.

    The purpose of this study is to compare whether anesthetizing multiple peripheral nerves of the scalp in the distribution of acute migraine headache pain (also known as multiple peripheral nerve block (MPNB)) provides more acute headache pain relief than greater occipital nerve block (GONB) alone. Also, to compare whether patients that received MPNB for acute migraine treatment have improved longer-term headache prophylaxis than patients that received GONB.

    Additionally to determine whether there are fewer missed work/school/life activity days in the 12 weeks following nerve block for patients that received MPNB compared to patients that received GONB, and compare whether there are fewer Emergency Room/Clinic visits for headache in the 12 week follow up for patients that received MPNB compared to patients that received GONB.
