Some studies have reported that a positive response to occipital nerve block (ONB) administered prior to ONS predicts a positive response to ONS. However, other studies concerned with proper patient selection claimed no predictive value for ONB. The aim of this study was to re-evaluate the usefulness and predictive value of ONB prior to ONS.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n Literature searches on the predictive value of ONB were performed in MEDLINE and PubMed. Patient data were extracted and a pooled analysis was performed.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n The literature review revealed 133 patients with CM and seven patients with CCH who received preoperative ONB. To date, a randomized controlled study examining the relationship between ONB and ONS has not been conducted in patients with CM.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n Current literature suggests that ONB does not sufficiently predict ONS responsiveness in patients with refractory CM and CCH; this important issue requires further investigation.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/0333102414541685","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,7,3]],"date-time":"2014-07-03T03:54:57Z","timestamp":1404359697000},"page":"359-362","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":33,"title":["Occipital nerve block prior to occipital nerve stimulation for refractory chronic migraine and chronic cluster headache: Myth or prediction?"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"35","author":[{"given":"Thomas M","family":"Kinfe","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Functional Neurosurgery and Neuromodulation, Rheinische Friedrich Wilhelms University, Bonn, Germany"},{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Rheinische Friedrich Wilhelms University, Bonn, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Patrick","family":"Schuss","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Rheinische Friedrich Wilhelms University, Bonn, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hartmut","family":"Vatter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Rheinische Friedrich Wilhelms University, Bonn, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,7,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0333102414541685","first-page":"30","volume":"29","author":"Lipton R","year":"2009","journal-title":"Cephalalgia"},{"key":"bibr2-0333102414541685","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0333102410381142"},{"key":"bibr3-0333102414541685","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00482-010-0970-7"},{"key":"bibr4-0333102414541685","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0333102412462642"},{"key":"bibr5-0333102414541685","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1212\/01.wnl.0000341279.17344.c9"},{"key":"bibr6-0333102414541685","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1526-4610.2011.01973.x"},{"key":"bibr7-0333102414541685","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1129-2377-14-86"},{"key":"bibr8-0333102414541685","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1525-1403.1999.00217.x"},{"key":"bibr9-0333102414541685","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"662","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1468-2982.2009.02022.x","volume":"30","author":"Palmeleire K","year":"2010","journal-title":"Cephalalgia"},{"key":"bibr10-0333102414541685","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1468-2982.2006.01251.x"},{"key":"bibr11-0333102414541685","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.nurt.2010.03.001"}],"container-title":["Cephalalgia"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/0333102414541685","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1177\/0333102414541685","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/0333102414541685","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,28]],"date-time":"2026-04-28T14:46:25Z","timestamp":1777387585000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/0333102414541685"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2014,7,2]]},"references-count":11,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2015,4]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/0333102414541685"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/0333102414541685","relation":{},"ISSN":["0333-1024","1468-2982"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0333-1024","type":"print"},{"value":"1468-2982","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2014,7,2]]}}}
