Abstract

Migraine headaches can significantly impact both the physical and psychological well-being of children and adolescents, and have been shown to have a considerable prevalence within this population. It is therefore reasonable to further explore treatment modalities that can alleviate or resolve migraine symptoms. Sphenopalatine ganglion block represents one of these modalities and has demonstrated promising and successful outcomes when treating migraines in the pediatric population.
