Scalp throbbing pain may be occipital neuralgia, which is a pain that occurs within the distribution area of the occipital nerve. The main causes are caused by upper segment osteoarthrosis, viral infection, rheumatism, cold, and trauma, with viral infection being the most common. The nature of the pain can be a persistent dull pain, or a pinprick-like or burning pain. Treatment is mainly based on nerve nutrition, and vitamin B1 and methylcobalamin can be applied. If the pain is severe, symptomatic pain relief such as carbamazepine, phenytoin sodium, gabapentin and pregabalin can be given.
