Sphenopalatine ganglion pulsed radiofrequency treatment in patients suffering from chronic face and head pain

Abstract: Pulsed radiofrequency of the sphenopalatine ganglion is effective in treating the patients suffering from intractable chronic facial and head pain as shown by our findings. There is a need for prospective, randomized, controlled trials in order to confirm the efficacy and safety of this new treatment modality in chronic head and face pain.

“…While no controlled studies have been conducted to date on the efficacy of RFA in the treatment of any pain disorder, several case reports and series have been promising, and one cohort study had significant results. 9,29 Narouze et al conducted a prospective cohort study in which 15 patients suffering from chronic CHs underwent SPG RFA. 9 Using a fluoroscopically guided infrazygomatic approach, 0.5 mL of lidocaine was injected, and 2 RF lesions were performed at 80°C for 60 seconds each, followed by the injection of 0.5 mL of 0.5% bupivacaine and 5 mg of triamcinolone postablation.…”

“…After sensory and motor stimulation to exclude an incorrect position of the needle, PRF at 42°C was performed for four cycles at 120 seconds each. Pain relief was complete in 35% of the patients, was mild to moderate in 42% and none in 23% . Data on 30 patients with chronic head and face pain were collected in a mixed retrospective and prospective descriptive study.…”
