“…Thus, essentially, the SPG is a junction which has sympathetic, parasympathetic, and sensory innervation overlapping in a minute area [6]. This could be the reason behind the fact that the block diffuses the conduction of pain due to several etiologies.…”

The sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG) is a parasympathetic ganglion, located in the pterygopalatine fossa. The SPG block has been used for a long time for treating headaches of varying etiologies. For anesthesiologists, treating postdural puncture headaches (PDPH) has always been challenging. The epidural block patch (EBP) was the only option until researchers explored the role of the SPG block as a relatively simple and effective way to treat PDPH. Also, since the existing evidence proving the efficacy of the SPG block in PDPH is scarce, the block cannot be offered to all patients. EBP can be still considered if an SPG block is not able to alleviate pain due to PDPH.

“…The sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG) is a parasympathetic ganglion composed of sensory and autonomic nerves. Its classification as a parasympathetic ganglion is derived from the fact that only pre-ganglionic parasympathetic axons synapse within the ganglion, while sensory and sympathetic connections merely transverse the ganglion [2].…”

Studies have demonstrated that SPG blockade and neurostimulation can provide pain relief in patients with cluster headaches, migraines, and other trigeminal autonomic cephalalgias. Patients with these conditions showed varying levels and duration of pain relief from SPG blockade. The efficacy of SPG blockade could be related to the different techniques targeting the SPG and choice of therapeutic agents. Based on current studies, SPG blockade is a safe and effective treatment for chronic headaches such as cluster headaches, migraines, and other trigeminal autonomic cephalalgias. Future studies are warranted to define the optimal image-guided technique and choice of pharmacologic agents for SPG blockade as an effective treatment for chronic headaches related to activation of the sphenopalatine ganglion.

Descripción anatómica, fisiológica y embriológica del nervio trigémino en el marco conceptual de la terapia neural, como sustrato frecuente de campo interferente RESUMENLa terapia neural, como sistema médico complejo, se caracteriza por el enfoque integral del organismo cuya dinámica está enmarcada por el papel rector del sistema nervioso. Un aspecto clave de este sistema médico es que requiere una visión escrutadora general que involucra el nervio trigémino como fuente de campos interferentes.El quinto par craneano es un nervio con funciones mixtas distribuido en la región facial y craneana, que presenta interconexiones con múltiples estructuras neurales. A la luz de los postulados de Pavlov, de los diferentes hallazgos sobre plasticidad cerebral y desde el marco conceptual de la terapia neural, se busca describir, desde el punto de vista anatómico y fisiológico, la relación que tiene el trigémino con una gran variedad de estructuras neurales, lo que genera otro tipo de correlaciones clínicas y de posibilidades terapéuticas.Palabras clave: nervio trigémino, anatomía, fisiología, embriología, anastomosis, correlación, terapia neural.Anatomical, physiological and embryological description of trigeminal nerve in the conceptual framework of neural therapy, as common substrate interference field ABSTRACTNeural therapy, as a complex medical system, is characterized by the integral approach of the organism whose dynamic is framed by the leading role of the nervous system. An important aspect of this medical system is how it demands a penetrating general vision that involves the trigeminal nerve as a source of interference fields.

From Pavlov's principles, the different discoveries about brain plasticity, and the neural therapy conceptual framework, this paper seeks to describe, from the standpoint of anatomy and physiology, the relationship of the trigeminal nerve with a variety of neural structures, resulting in other clinical correlations and therapeutic possibilities.
