Sphenopalatine Ganglion Block

Sphenopalatine Ganglion Block is available through Mishe Health Plan at a published cash price, paid when you book.

A sphenopalatine ganglion block is a medical procedure used to relieve pain associated with various conditions, including cluster headaches, migraines, trigeminal neuralgia, and facial pain syndromes. The sphenopalatine ganglion is a cluster of nerves located behind the nose that is involved in transmitting pain signals from the head and face to the brain. During the procedure, a local anesthetic, often combined with a steroid medication for prolonged pain relief, is injected near the sphenopalatine ganglion to block or disrupt the transmission of pain signals. This can provide significant relief from pain and may also help reduce inflammation in the affected area. Sphenopalatine ganglion blocks can be performed using various techniques, including transnasal, transoral, or percutaneous approaches, and may be done in an outpatient setting. While the effects of the block can vary from person to person, many individuals experience significant improvement in pain following the procedure.
