Are there any side effects of injections for migraine?

  Migraine is the most common type of primary headache in clinical practice, with episodes of moderate to severe, throbbing headache as the main manifestation, which is more painful for patients. So how should we treat migraine?  Is it normal to experience increased pain after treatment? Why?  If the pain is only near the needle hole of the injection, it usually disappears on its own within one to three days, and this pain on the skin is not the same as a headache, and the patient can distinguish it, and it does not have much effect on daily life.  If the headache is aggravated after the injection, it is also necessary to distinguish two different situations, one is that the patient is slow to adapt and needs some time to feel the effect of the treatment; the other is that the patient is really not suitable for this treatment method, and the doctor will usually ask the patient to do the treatment more than twice, and if the headache is aggravated after both injection treatments, then it is time to use another method of treatment.  Some patients say they have numbness, fever, sweating, abnormal sensation and other reactions after the treatment, is this a treatment failure?  Numbness, fever, sweating, and abnormal sensation of the limbs do not mean that the treatment has failed, these are just some side effects of the treatment and medication, and they do not occur in everyone, the incidence is very low. These discomforts usually disappear on their own after a few hours.  So what exactly is causing these conditions? Because nerve block treatment is after all an invasive operation, some patients are weak or nervous and may irritate the nerves during the puncture process; there are also patients who are more sensitive to the drugs, and some women who are more sensitive to the drugs may have early periods or increased bleeding after the treatment. However, after the course of nerve block treatment, these “abnormal” phenomena will gradually disappear, so patients should not worry too much.  Are there any other side effects of nerve block treatment?  The biggest risk of nerve block treatment is nerve and blood vessel damage. First, the location of the patient’s nerves and blood vessels. If the location of the nerve and blood vessel is different from most people, the chance of side effects is relatively high, but of course, the probability is very low; second, the proficiency of the doctor. As long as the doctor is trained by the regular hospital, there is generally no problem.  Some patients are still very worried about the needle in case it hits a nerve, will it break or paralyze the person? With the development of medical technology and the rich experience of doctors, the complication rate of nerve block treatment, even such serious complications as the patient said, is getting lower and lower, but it is by no means possible to avoid it completely, just like flying in an airplane there is also the risk of flight accidents, this risk is what we must bear to get fast and convenient air travel, if you don’t take the risk, then the great benefits brought by this treatment you also If you don’t take the risk, you won’t get the great benefits of this treatment.  What is the approximate cost of nerve block therapy? Is it reimbursed by health insurance?  The cost of nerve block therapy varies from place to place and from hospital to hospital. Generally speaking, a course of nerve block therapy can be completed for about one to two thousand dollars and is reimbursed by health insurance.
