No relief from headache?

Headache is one of the most common symptoms that we encounter in society and that affects the quality of life the most. The basis for the diagnosis of patients who apply with this complaint is the patient’s story. It is possible to avoid diagnostic errors and unnecessary investigations by allocating enough time to the patients and evaluating their complaints correctly. Primary headaches constitute more than 90% of patients with headache and are grouped as Migraine type, Tension type and Cluster type. Tension-type headache is the most common type of headache in the community, followed by migraine headache in the second rank and analgesic (painkiller) drug overuse headache, which is currently the third most common in the world. This diversity in headaches also causes diversity in treatment. Although drug treatment was started first, very successful results are also obtained with the transnasal sphenopalatine ganglion block, which has been applied in the treatment of headache in recent years. The side effects of the procedure are very rare and should be applied 4-6 sessions twice a week.
