Occipital neuralgia should be treated according to its etiology and clinical symptoms, and appropriate treatment methods should be selected, mainly as follows: 1. Drug treatment: oral pain medication can improve clinical symptoms, but cannot correct its etiology. When the nerve is chronically stuck for a long time, neurotrophic drugs can be injected. At the outlet of the greater occipital nerve, pain medications such as lidocaine can also be injected for local closure treatment; 2. Acupuncture and knife release: the local soft tissue elasticity, contractility and blood supply capacity at the outlet of the greater occipital nerve can be effectively released and quickly intervene in the etiology; 3. Acupuncture and massage: good effect and obvious advantages; 4. Corrective manipulation: correction of misaligned joints, which in turn relieves pain.
