Abstract

Primary headaches are a type of headache that occurs independently, without any other underlying medical condition or injury. They are a major concern due to their prevalence in the population and their potential to cause significant disruption to daily life. In past years, new techniques have been developed that utilize sonography in diagnosing and treating headache disorders. Some recent publications have appeared on the use of ultrasound in blocks of the greater occipital nerve and the diagnosis of headaches. For a long time, blocks of the nerve have been performed without target visualization, based on exterior landmarks only. New methods may improve the results of performed procedures. Therefore, this study aims to provide an overview of the applications of ultrasound imaging of the greater occipital nerve in clinical practice.

枕大神经声像图在原发性头痛疾病诊断和治疗中的应用

原发性头痛是一种独立发生的头痛，没有任何其他潜在的医疗条件或损伤。由于它们在人口中普遍存在，并有可能对日常生活造成重大干扰，因此它们是一个主要问题。在过去的几年里，利用超声诊断和治疗头痛疾病的新技术得到了发展。一些最近的出版物已经出现了使用超声在枕大神经阻滞和头痛的诊断。很长一段时间以来，神经块都是在没有目标可视化的情况下进行的，仅基于外部地标。新方法可以改善手术的效果。因此，本研究旨在综述枕大神经超声成像在临床中的应用。

期刊介绍： The Italian Journal of Anatomy and Embryology, founded in 1901 by Giulio Chiarugi, Anatomist at Florence University, is a peer-reviewed journal sponsored by the Italian Society of Anatomy and Embryology. The journal publishes original papers, invited review articles, historical article, commentaries, obituitary, and book reviews. Its main focus is to understand anatomy through an analysis of structure, function, development and evolution. Priority will be given to studies of that clearly articulate their relevance to the anatomical community. Focal areas include: experimental studies, contributions based on molecular and cell biology and on the application of modern imaging techniques; comparative functional morphology; developmental biology; functional human anatomy; methodological innovations in anatomical research; significant advances in anatomical education. Studies that are essentially descriptive anatomy are appropriate only if they communicate clearly a broader functional or evolutionary significance. All papers should be submitted in English and must be original works that are unpublished and not under consideration by another journal. An international Editorial Board and reviewers from the anatomical disciplines guarantee a rapid review of your paper within two to three weeks after submission.
