Sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG) block is a minimally invasive procedure used to alleviate headaches and sinus pain by targeting the sphenopalatine ganglion, a collection of nerve cells located in the pterygopalatine fossa. The SPG is involved in the autonomic regulation of the nasal cavity and is linked to various types of headaches, including migraines and cluster headaches, as well as sinus-related pain.
During the procedure, a sterile cotton tipped applicator soaked in local anesthetic is placed against the ganglion, which can help interrupt the pain pathways and reduce inflammation. This sits for approximately 15 minutes while you relax under infrared and red light therapy Patients often report significant relief from headache symptoms and sinus pressure shortly after the block. This technique is particularly advantageous for individuals who have not responded well to conventional treatments, offering a rapid and effective option for pain management. Due to its targeted approach, SPG block can lead to improved quality of life for those suffering from chronic headaches and sinus issues.
