Migraine Treatment and Greater Occipital Nerve (GON) Block

Migraine is a chronic neurological disorder characterized by recurrent headache attacks that may be accompanied by symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light, sound, or odors. More than a simple headache, migraine can have a significant impact on daily activities, work performance, and overall quality of life. In patients with chronic migraine, headaches may occur on 15 or more days per month, with migraine features present on many of those days. A comprehensive neurological evaluation is essential to determine the most appropriate treatment plan. Depending on the patient's condition, management may include lifestyle modifications, preventive medications, acute treatments, and interventional procedures such as a Greater Occipital Nerve (GON) block.
