Migraine is the second most common primary headache. Greater occipital nerve (GON) block is an effective method in the treatment of migraine. Transcutaneous pulsed radiofrequency (RF) therapy is used in the treatment of pain. However, its use in headaches is not widespread yet.
Investigator aimed to compare the efficacy of transcutaneous pulsed radiofrequency therapy applied through the GON trace and GON block therapy. A 60-patient study was designed. GON block was planned for 30 patients and transcutaneous pulsed RF was planned for 30 patients. The block will be applied once at the level of C2 vertebra with ultrasound.Transcutaneous pulsed RF will be applied twice, once a week, for 8 minutes.All patients will have pre-treatment migraine disability assessment score (MIDAS) scores filled. A headache diary will be provided to all patients. Frequency and severity of pain will be followed for 1 month. Pain intensity will be evaluated on the visual analog scale (VAS).
Investigator aimed to evaluate the efficacy of transcutaneous pulsed RF therapy, which is a noninvasive method, in migraine.
