Abstract
If PTH shared the peripheral sensitization mechanism and the vasoregulation impairment with primary headaches, analgesic properties from cervicothoracic sympathetic block would be explained. This unexpected effect should stimulate a review of the International Classification of Headache Disorders II. Stellate ganglion block should be considered as a diagnostic and therapeutic option in case of resistant headache.
