Sphenopalatine Ganglion
Injections and Ablations
The sphenopalatine ganglion, which is located just behind the maxillary
sinus, behind the cheek, can carry the pain information for multiple
disorders, including atypical facial pain, post herpetic neuralgia,
trigeminal neuralgia, migraine headaches and cluster headaches.
Injections and radiofrequency ablation of the sphenopalatine are
easily performed and can provide definitive therapy for conditions
which are otherwise very difficult to control.
