If you're struggling with chronic headaches, migraines, or facial pain, the Sphenopalatine Ganglion Block (SPG Block), commonly known as Sphenocath, could be the innovative treatment solution you need. At A Ray of Hope: Great Lakes Institute of Neurology and Psychiatry, we offer this minimally invasive procedure to help relieve pain and improve your quality of life.
This FDA-approved procedure, involves the administration of a local anesthetic to the sphenopalatine ganglion, a collection of nerves located in the nasal cavity that is associated with headache and facial pain. By targeting this nerve cluster, Sphenocath can provide rapid relief from conditions like chronic migraines, cluster headaches, trigeminal neuralgia, and even certain forms of neuralgia and post-herpetic pain.
Here's what you can expect from Sphenocath at our practice:
Comprehensive Evaluation: Our experienced team will conduct a thorough assessment of your symptoms and medical history to determine if Sphenocath is right for you.
Minimally Invasive Procedure: Sphenocath is performed by carefully inserting a small catheter through the nasal passage to deliver the anesthetic, ensuring a comfortable and quick procedure.
Immediate Relief: Many patients experience significant pain relief shortly after the procedure, with effects lasting for several days or even weeks.
Repeatable Treatment: If needed, Sphenocath can be repeated periodically to maintain symptom relief, providing a flexible and customizable approach to pain management.
Safe and Effective: Sphenocath is a low-risk procedure with minimal side effects, making it an excellent option for patients seeking non-surgical pain relief.
