Current Perspectives on the Impact of Chronic Migraine on Sleep Quality: A Literature Review.

Objective: Recent studies have shown that sleep problems occur in migraineurs and poor sleep causes chronification, but the mechanisms by which chronic migraine affects sleep quality are still unknown. This review aims to analyze commonly reported sleep disturbances in chronic migraine (CM) and determine the effect of CM on sleep quality.

Materials And Methods: We conducted a comprehensive review of all published articles on CM and sleep quality from inception to March 2022 in the literature.

A comparison of the clinical efficacy of GON block at the C2 level and GON block at the classical distal occipital level in the treatment of migraine.

Purpose: The aim of this retrospective study was to compare the efficacy and complications of ultrasound-guided block (C2GON) at the level of C2 and block performed from the distal occiput level (DOGON) as the greater occipital nerve progresses superficially to the obliquus capitis inferior muscle in migraine patients.

Methods: 63 patients were included in this retrospective study. For C2GON blockade, 2 units of 4 ml 0.

Comparison of the clinical efficacy of bilateral and unilateral GON blockade at the C2 level in chronic migraine.

The main purpose of this study was to retrospectively compare the unilateral and bilateral application of proximal greater occipital nerve (GON) block at the C2 level in the treatment of chronic migraine disease. In chronic migraine patients who underwent GON blockade, the average number of migrainous painful days per month, the average duration of pain in attacks, the highest visual analogue scale (VAS) score in pain intensity for one month, and total analgesic use were recorded before and after the block. According to the GON block protocol applied by our clinic, the patients were treated for GON block 4 times a month, once a week.

Clinical success of greater occipital nerve blockade in improving sleep quality of chronic migraineurs: a prospective observational study.

Background: The success of various therapy methods in the treatment of insomnia and poor quality sleep, both of which play an active role in the chronicization process of migraine, has been the subject of investigation. The aim of this research was to evaluate the success, acceptability, and efficacy of greater occipital nerve block (GON-B) therapy in chronic migraine (CM) patients in improving their sleep quality and developing their beliefs about sleep .
