Abstract

Landmark-guided zygomaticotemporal nerve blocks are a well-described modality to manage headaches in the temporal region. We report 3 cases in which ultrasound-guided zygomaticotemporal nerve blocks were performed for severe unilateral temporal headaches that failed to respond to standard treatment in the outpatient pain clinic. All the patients reported substantial and durable pain relief with no complications.
