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.
