  2. Occipital neuralgia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occipital_neuralgia

    Occipital neuralgia. Occipital neuralgia (ON) is a painful condition affecting the posterior head in the distributions of the greater occipital nerve (GON), lesser occipital nerve (LON), third occipital nerve (TON), or a combination of the three. It is paroxysmal, lasting from seconds to minutes, and often consists of lancinating pain that ...

    The tissues in the throat rub on the styloid process during the act of swallowing with resulting pain along the glossopharyngeal nerve. There is also pain upon turning the head or extending the tongue. Other symptoms may include voice alteration, cough, dizziness, migraines, occipital neuralgia, pain in teeth and jaw and sinusitis or bloodshot ...

  4. Greater occipital nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_occipital_nerve

    The greater occipital nerve is a nerve of the head. It is a spinal nerve, specifically the medial branch of the dorsal primary ramus of cervical spinal nerve 2. It arises from between the first and second cervical vertebrae, ascends, and then passes through the semispinalis muscle. It ascends further to supply the skin along the posterior part ...

  5. Muscle relaxant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle_relaxant

    A muscle relaxant is a drug that affects skeletal muscle function and decreases the muscle tone. It may be used to alleviate symptoms such as muscle spasms, pain, and hyperreflexia. The term "muscle relaxant" is used to refer to two major therapeutic groups: neuromuscular blockers and spasmolytics. Neuromuscular blockers act by interfering with ...

  6. Neuromuscular-blocking drug - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuromuscular-blocking_drug

    Quaternary ammonium muscle relaxants are quaternary ammonium salts used as drugs for muscle relaxation, most commonly in anesthesia. It is necessary to prevent spontaneous movement of muscle during surgical operations. Muscle relaxants inhibit neuron transmission to muscle by blocking the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor. What they have in ...

  7. Occipitalis muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occipitalis_muscle

    Occipitalis muscle. The occipitalis muscle (occipital belly) is a muscle which covers parts of the skull. Some sources consider the occipital muscle to be a distinct muscle. However, Terminologia Anatomica currently classifies it as part of the occipitofrontalis muscle along with the frontalis muscle. The occipitalis muscle is thin and ...

  8. Occipital nerve stimulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occipital_nerve_stimulation

    Occipital nerve stimulation ( ONS ), also called peripheral nerve stimulation ( PNS) of the occipital nerves, is used to treat chronic migraine patients who have failed to respond to pharmaceutical treatments. The treatment involves the use of mild electrical impulses to stimulate the greater occipital nerve and lesser occipital nerve [ 1 ...

  9. Methocarbamol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methocarbamol

    Methocarbamol is a centrally acting muscle relaxant. [3] How it works is unclear, but it does not appear to affect muscles directly. [3] Methocarbamol was developed in 1956 in the laboratories of A. H. Robins (later acquired by Pfizer). Studies were directed towards the development of propanediol derivatives which possessed muscle relaxant ...
