Abstract

Intranasal block is a relatively simple and beneficial interventional procedure. It gained popularity after it that was discovered over a century ago. It can be effectively used at the bedside for patients with severe or intractable migraines, some of the trigeminal autonomic cephalalgias, tension headaches, post-dural puncture headaches, and some other types of headaches. It is important to note that the current understanding is that intranasal local anesthetic injection, commonly referred to in the past as one of the variants of the sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG) block, is not a true SPG block.
