The treatment of pain trigger areas in migraine.
In many patients with migraine, several localised areas usually on the scalp or neck can be identified. The local injection of lignocaine one per cent and adrenaline 1/200,000 often leads to considerable relief of the symptoms of migraine including visual phenomena. The common sites of the trigger areas are shown and several uncontrolled case reports of the effect of the treatment are described.
