Measure
Amitriptyline / Elavil
Amitriptyline / Elavil 10 mg once a day for one week then Amitriotyline 20 mg once a day for three weeks This intervention will treat the headache for the time period investigated SPG Block with 5% Lidocaine gel: cotten tipped applicators are with 5% lidocaine gel and placed in the nares to lye in the skin over the sphenopalitine ganglion. The applcator is use to saturate the spenopalitine ganglion with 5ml of 1% lidocaine local anesthesia Amitriptyline: The intervention will be Amitriptyline daily (starting with 10 mg) PO for 30 Days
SPG Nerve Block With Lidocaine 5% Gel
Sphenopalatine Ganglion Nerve Block (SPG Nerve Block) will be administed weekly for 4 weeks using 5% Lidocaine gel This intervention (a nerve block) will treat the headache for the time period investigated SPG Block with 5% Lidocaine gel: cotten tipped applicators are with 5% lidocaine gel and placed in the nares to lye in the skin over the sphenopalitine ganglion. The applcator is use to saturate the spenopalitine ganglion with 5ml of 1% lidocaine local anesthesia Amitriptyline: The intervention will be Amitriptyline daily (starting with 10 mg) PO for 30 Days
