Glycerol gangliotomy of the second dorsal cervical root in rats: an experimental study to evaluate a minimal invasive approach for the treatment of the chronic cervicogenic headache
Abstract:Glycerol is a known agent in the therapy of chronic tic douloureux. It has been used for about 20 years in percutaneous, retrogasserian minimal-invasive rhizotomy, although the pharmacological mechanism of the pain relief involved remains unclear. To investigate glycerol treatment as a possible replacement for invasive approaches in the therapy of chronic cervicogenic headaches, we performed an experimental study on the pathomorphologic action of anhydrous glycerol injection into the second upper cervical dors… Show more
