Headache is a common disease encountered in the clinical pain department and has many causes. Among them, there is a type of headache with neck pressure pain, and it is related to the stimulation of cervical nerve, which has a high incidence, complex clinical manifestations, long duration of headache and difficult treatment, and has attracted increasing attention. This kind of headache was once called “neurogenic headache”, “neurovascular headache”, “occipital neuralgia”, “otalgia “neuropathic headache”, “neurovascular headache”, “occipital neuralgia”, “otalgia”, etc. In the past, it was thought that this kind of headache was produced by the nerves and blood vessels in the head under the action of pathogenic factors, so the treatment was mainly oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, head acupuncture, physical therapy, massage, painful head injections and nerve trunk block in the head (including occipital or auricular nerve block). However, a significant number of patients do not improve or the treatment effect does not last. This has led to a situation where “the patient has a headache and the doctor has a headache”. This clinical situation has led to an in-depth study of the pathogenesis of these headaches. After the concept of cervicogenic headache was first introduced by Sjaastad in 1983, it quickly gained the attention of multidisciplinary experts. In 1995, Bogduk pointed out that cervical degeneration and muscle spasm were the direct causes of cervicogenic headache. He believed that cervicogenic headache could also be called posterior cervical nerve branch origin headache. Recently, some scholars have also referred to cervicogenic headache as high-grade neurogenic cervical spondylosis.
