Tx360 Treatment

The main nerve responsible for headaches is the trigeminal nerve. Linked to the trigeminal, the Sphenopalatine Ganglion (SPG) nerves are located behind the nose. The SPG transfers information about sensation, including pain, and also plays a role in autonomic functions, such as tearing and nasal congestion 1. This new treatment targets those nerves, through the nasal application, to alleviate and relieve the symptoms of headache. These types of pain blockers began to surface in the 1900s and have since found great application in a myriad of fashions across medical practices.

What To Expect In Bellevue TN

The Marcaine medication used in the Tx360 treatment may cause a temporary sensation of numbness in the face including the eye(s), nose, cheek(s), and throat. The medication may have a bitter taste, but we will provide a mint, candy, or Listerine strip to alleviate any unpleasant taste that is experienced. Nasal passage irritation or nosebleed can occur after the procedure.

How It Works

It involves a small device that is inserted through the nostril to deliver a numbing medication to the cluster of nerves at the back of your nasal passage where your pain originates.

A typical course of treatment is twice a week for 5 weeks with the goal of reducing the number of headaches per month and their severity. This approach may also be used to treat migraine as a 1-time treatment for severe migraine pain. The procedure is performed in both nostrils using a latex-free device.

Treatment Choice

Discuss this treatment, along with others, with your provider to make sure this plan of care is right for your individual needs. Patients suffering from chronic congestion, nosebleeds, bleeding disorders, neoplasm (angiofibroma, sinus tumor, granuloma), and nasal septal deformity may not be the best candidates for the treatment and may consider other approaches to migraine relief.
