Study Summary

Migraine is a common neurological condition that can be disabling, particularly if chronic. Greater occipital nerve (GON) block has been utilized for decades for the treatment of migraine in the absence of a single randomized, placebo-controlled trial documenting its effectiveness. Hypothesis: Greater occipital nerve block reduces the frequency of days with moderate or severe headache in patients with episodic or chronic migraine.

Primary Outcome

The baseline frequency will be the number of calendar days with moderate or severe migraine during the 4 week period prior to injection, and the follow-up frequency will be the number of calendar days with migraine during the 4 week period following injection.
