Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Determine the effects of sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG) block in post-stroke headache.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The purpose of this study is to determine if sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG) block is a safe and effective treatment for acute post-stroke headache. Current literature lacks randomized controlled studies regarding the efficacy of different treatment modalities for acute post-stroke headache; additionally, there are no evidence-based guidelines for the treatment of acute post-stroke headache. Sphenopalatine ganglion block is a non-invasive procedure where an anesthetic agent is injected into the nares, reaching the SPG to relieve pain and autonomic features. This treatment has been effective in a variety of headache types but to our knowledge has not been studied in acute post-stroke headache.
