Sphenopalatine ganglion block has been used to treat post-dural-puncture headache, [2] though a 2020 trial comparing local anaesthetic sphenopalatine ganglion block to sham injection with saline failed to show difference in pain scores for those receiving local anaesthetic vs placebo, suggesting any efficacy is unrelated to local anaesthetic ...

[22] Multiple EBPs can be administered as necessary; this is more likely to happen with people with spontaneous headache or multiple leakages. [11]

[2] The opposite of a ganglionic blocker is referred to as a ganglionic stimulant. Some substances can exhibit both stimulating and blocking effects on autonomic ...
Self-administration of SPG blocks (SASPGB) is another method of delivering sphenopalatine blockade and indirect stellate ganglion blockade. Complications associated with a stellate ganglion block include Horner's syndrome , accidental intra-arterial or intravenous injection, difficulty swallowing , vocal cord paralysis, epidural spread of local ...
