Interventional Treatment Strategies for Headache and Facial Pain

This article reviews interventional treatments for headache and facial pain. Procedures, such as botulinum toxin injections, occipital and peripheral nerve blocks, trigger point injections, and sphenopalatine ganglion blocks, are discussed with protocols and evidence supporting their efficacy. These approaches serve both therapeutic and diagnostic purposes, particularly in cases refractory to medication or conservative management. Emphasis is placed on anatomic knowledge and careful pre-procedural considerations to enhance precision and safety, with procedural guidance provided for reducing risks and improving patient outcomes.
