The clinical observation of stellate ganglion blockade combined with oxycodone and acetaminophen tablets on migraine

Abstract

Objective To observe the therapeutic effects of stellate ganglion block (SGB) with oxycodone and acetaminophen tablets on the treatment of migraine. Methods 100 patients with migraine were divided into two groups randomly. They received SGB with oxycodone and acetaminophen tablets (experimental group) or only SGB (control group) respectively. The parameters included pain intensity before and 1 d,3 d,1 w,1 m and 3 m after the treatment, and pain relief rate of each patient. The adverse effects were also evaluated. Results The pain intensity described as numeric rating score (NRS) decreased in the two groups at each time point. In the experimental group, the value of NRS was significantly less than that in the control group at 3d,1m and 3m after the treatment. The effec-tive rate ha the experimental group and the control group were 88% and 68%. Conclusion SGB with oxycodone and acetaminophen tablets is more effective for migraine and deserves widely used in patients.
