PY - 2016 T2 - Principles and Practice of Pain Medicine, 3e AB - The practice of headache medicine has evolved over time, and the use of peripheral nerve blocks has been gradually increasing among practitioners. Peripheral nerve blocks are generally safe, well-tolerated office-based procedures that can be performed for the acute treatment of numerous headache disorders. For reasons that are less clear, nerve blocks can have prolonged effects beyond the duration of the injected anesthetic, at times lasting weeks to months.1 As such, nerve blocks can also be used for preventive treatment.
