Description
In Episode 3 of This Headache Journey, host Adam Flaherty explores sphenocath, a targeted procedure aimed at reducing chronic headache and migraine pain. Joining him is Dr. Demetrio Aguila, a peripheral nerve surgeon and pain specialist from Total Pain Solutions by Healing Hands of Nebraska. Dr. Aguila is known for his expertise in treating tough headaches and nerve pain with innovative approaches.
Adam candidly recounts his personal experience trying sphenocath (twice!), and Dr. Aguila offers insightful explanations about how and why this procedure works for so many patients, even when other treatments have failed.
Topics include:
What is the sphenopalatine ganglion, and why is it so important in headache pain?
The science behind “resetting” pain pathways in the brain and how numbing this nerve cluster can break the cycle
A step-by-step walkthrough of what patients can expect during a sphenocath procedure
Success rates for sphenocath and how many sessions are typically recommended
What it feels like—and honest talk about possible side effects and who might not benefit
How long results usually last and guidance on when to try again (or move on)
Why technique matters, and what to consider if it doesn’t work for you the first time
Cost/insurance considerations and what makes Dr. Aguila’s approach unique
