Anatomic Localization and Compression Points of Occipital Nerves: Therapeutic Insights Using K-Means and Cadaveric Atlas
This study yields anatomic information about the GON and LON anatomy and illustrates key compression points and optimal sites for therapeutic interventions. Within the constraints of sample size, these findings provide preliminary anatomic insights that can guide more precise nerve block and decompression techniques for occipital neuralgia and related headaches.
