WHAT YOU WANT TO KNOW

About Sphenopalatine Ganglion Block Treatment

The sphenopalatine ganglion is a nerve bundle located behind the nose that plays a key role in migraine and facial pain pathways. By anesthetizing this nerve group, pain signals are effectively interrupted—leading to rapid relief.

At Lifespring Pain Management Center, your provider will:

Conduct a thorough evaluation and choose the most appropriate approach—either transnasal, transoral, or lateral.
Use image-guidance when necessary to ensure precise placement.
Administer a local anesthetic to the SPG, blocking the transmission of pain signals.

Patients may be lightly sedated depending on the approach used and individual preferences.

Relief is typically experienced within 15 to 30 minutes of the procedure.
Patients are monitored briefly before discharge to ensure comfort and safety.
Most people return to normal activity the same day, though rest is encouraged.

Common side effects are minimal and may include a temporary bitter taste, light-headedness, or mild nasal bleeding. Serious complications are rare.

SPG blocks have shown effective results in treating:

Chronic migraines
Cluster headaches
Facial neuralgia
Post-traumatic facial pain
Trigeminal autonomic cephalalgias

Our specialists have helped many patients reduce dependency on medications, regain function, and significantly improve daily quality of life through this treatment.
