F.F. THOMPSON HOSPITAL now offers an innovative treatment
found to offer sustained relief to many who suffer from chronic
migraines and cluster headaches.
Called an intranasal sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG) block, the
image-guided procedure is minimally invasive and involves no
needles. “It’s a very unique alternative,” says Devang Butani, MD,
an interventional radiologist specializing in pain management.
During the image-guided procedure, a thin catheter is inserted
through the nasal passages to administer lidocaine. This takes
approximately 20 minutes, and according to Dr. Butani, involves
minimal risks.
The administration of the lidocaine is said to act as a “reset button” for the brain’s
migraine circuitry, so when the initial numbing from the lidocaine wears off, the migraine
trigger has less effect.
According to Butani, an intranasal SPG block can also benefit patients with facial
distribution pain syndromes, such as trigeminal neuralgia or persistent pain of the upper
or lower jaw after root canals.
No referral is needed for a minimally invasive SPG block, and most insurances cover
the procedure. To schedule a consultation at Thompson, call 585-396-6701.
