Abstract
SYNOPSISA sustained headache syndrome can develop from headaches of diverse etiologies. Over seven years,112 patients with such a syndrome received 188 sets of injections in the occipital nerve regions andtwo‐thirds had prolonged relief. In such headaches, interrupting the pain cycle with occipital injectionscontaining 1% lidocaine plus betamethasone may be a useful adjunct to other preventive and abortivemedical therapies.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
