Abstract

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of the greater occipital nerve (GON) is a minimally- invasive treatment option commonly used in patients with occipital neuralgia. Patients who undergo occipital surgery for headaches after failed RFA treatment present a unique opportunity to evaluate RFA- treated occipital nerves and determine the impact on headache surgery outcomes.
