An SPG Block, also known as a SphenoCath, is a quick, in-office procedure that can help reduce migraines and pain associated with headaches. It’s generally well tolerated, and many patients notice improvement soon after treatment.

Who is this for?
This treatment is great for patients dealing with conditions like migraine, cluster headaches, and certain facial pain patterns. If your symptoms fit the right pattern, this can be an efficient option to try—especially when you want to avoid more invasive steps.
What to expect
Your first step will be an in-depth consultation with our medical staff. This includes a review of your symptoms and timeline, medical history, current medications, and any previous headache workup. We’ll also discuss your goals and whether an SPG Block is the right fit.
What the procedure looks like
Most visits are brief. You’ll recline comfortably, we’ll perform the procedure by injecting medication through the nostril, and you’ll rest for a short period afterward. Many people describe it as pressure rather than pain.
How fast does it work?
Many patients report noticeable relief quickly (including immediately), while others need more time—or a series of treatments—to see whether it helps their pain. Response and duration vary.
