Sphenopalatine Block--Has anybody out there had this done or know about it. My husband's neuro referred him to a ENT at a pain clinic to have this done. She will instill a cocaine solution into his nose in order to block a nerve. It's supposed to give some period of relief, and sometimes breaks the cluster cycle completely. He's having it done on Thursday, outpatient at the hospital.
Who'd ever thought he'd have a legit use for cocaine?
