Abstract

Headaches are among the most prevalent medical complaints globally. Occipital neuralgia is a chronic headache disorder characterized by unilateral or bilateral severe pain originating in the neck or skull base and radiating up along the occipital nerve distribution. Effective treatment options for occipital neuralgia can be challenging and some patients may prove to be refractory to conventional medical and interventional therapies. We present a case report on a patient with severe occipital neuralgia that was refectory to conventional therapies that responded to percutaneous peripheral nerve stimulation.
