( Headache 2011;51:155‐162) The indications for using steroids when performing occipital nerve blocks (ONBs) are not completely clear. We report a patient with chronic migraines who was allergic to local anesthetics, for whom ONBs using only corticosteroid proved useful. To our knowledge, this is only published case describing the effects of ONBs using only corticosteroid, without local anesthetic.
