Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has gained recognition as a potential therapeutic option for patients with refractory combined migraine and cervicogenic headaches. The proximal and distal ultrasound-guided approaches are widely utilized for GON RFA. These approaches aim to disrupt pain signals transmitted by the GON and provide relief of pain for these headache disorders
