Abstract

The functional anatomy of the trigeminal nerve and upper cervical nerves in transmitting head and neck pain is briefly reviewed. The chapter will focus on specific structures that interventional approaches target in headache management. The aim is to provide a general view and an understanding of the mechanisms underlying peripheral nerve interventions in clinical practice.
