Effectiveness of distal versus proximal greater occipital nerve pulsed radiofrequencyin migraine management: a prospective randomized controlled trial
Both treatments were well-tolerated, with minimal adverse effects. Our findings indicate that both proximal and distal approaches are safe and effective for migraine management. The proximal approach might offer slightly superior outcomes for patients experiencing severe and frequent migraine attacks.
