Local Anesthetic in Neck to Help Migraines?

Injection of a local anesthetic into active trigger points in the lower part of the neck and the cervical spine can improve migraine symptoms, according to Italian investigators report. Apparently by injecting the pain-killer bupivacaine at key trigger points on days 3, 10, 30, and 60 have reduced the number and intensity of a person's migraine's. Hopefully to reduce the amount of "acute triptan" medications an individual has to take. Which is interesting because I frequently notice when I have a migraine or begin to feel the early signs of one, my lower neck hurts and the tenses up. This may be the beginning of something good for all migraine suffers, with this and preventable medicines, the percentage of migraine sufferers my be less and less, it does appear that Migraines Are Preventable.

Hi,

Hope this finds you well. Healthline just released an interactive guide on migraine triggers. The page details 14 common triggers for migraines and how you can manage them. You can check out the guide here: http://www.healthline.com/health/migraine/triggers

This is very valuable, med-reviewed information that helps a sufferer lessen migraine severity and frequency. I thought this would be a great tool for your site, and I am writing to ask if you would include it as a resource on your page: http://migrainesarepreventable.blogspot.com/

Please let me know if this would be possible. I’m happy to answer any other questions as well.

Warm regards,
