摘要
BackgroundPulsed radiofrequency neuromodulation (PRFN) of greater occipital nerve (GON) is considered in patients with headaches failing to achieve sustained analgesic benefit from nerve blocks with local anesthetic and steroids. However, the evidence supporting this practice is unclear.AimsThis narrative systematic review aims to explore the effectiveness and safety of GON PRFN on headaches.MethodsDatabases were searched for studies, published up to February 1, 2024, investigating PRFN of GON for adults with headaches. Abstracts and posters were excluded. Primary outcome was change in headache intensity. Secondary outcomes included effect on monthly headache frequency (MHF), mental and physical health, mood, sleep, analgesic consumption, and side-effects. Two reviewers screened and extracted data.ResultsTwenty-two papers (2 randomized controlled trials (RCT), 11 cohort, and 9 case reports/series) including 608 patients were identified. Considerable heterogeneity in terms of study design, headache diagnosis, PRF target and settings, and image-guidance was noted. PRFN settings varied (38-42 degrees C, 40-60 V, and 150-400 Ohms). Studies demonstrated PRFN to provide significant analgesia and reduction of MHF in chronic migraine (CM) from 3 to 6 months; and significant pain relief for ON from six to ten months. Mild adverse effects were reported in 3.1% of cohort. A minority of studies reported on secondary outcomes. The quality of the evidence was low.ConclusionsLow-quality evidence indicates an analgesic benefit from PRFN of GON for ON and CM, but its role for other headache types needs more investigation. Optimal PRFN target and settings remain unclear. High-quality RCTs are required to further explore the role of this intervention. PROSPERO ID CRD42022363234. Contexte: La neuromodulation par radiofr & eacute;quence puls & eacute;e (NRFP) du nerf grand occipital (NGO) est envisag & eacute;e chez les patients souffrant de c & eacute;phal & eacute;es qui ne parviennent pas & agrave; obtenir un b & eacute;n & eacute;fice analg & eacute;sique durable & agrave; partir des blocages nerveux & agrave; l'aide d'un anesth & eacute;sique local et de st & eacute;ro & iuml;des. Cependant, les donn & eacute;es probantes & agrave; l'appui de cette pratique ne sont pas claires.Objectifs: Cette revue syst & eacute;matique narrative vise & agrave; explorer l'efficacit & eacute; et la s & eacute;curit & eacute; de la NRFP du NGO sur les maux de t & eacute;te.M & eacute;thodes: Des bases de donn & eacute;es ont & eacute;t & eacute; consult & eacute;es pour trouver des & eacute;tudes, publi & eacute;es jusqu'au 1er f & eacute;vrier 2024, portant sur la NRFP du NGO chez des adultes souffrant de c & eacute;phal & eacute;es. Les r & eacute;sum & eacute;s et les affiches ont & eacute;t & eacute; exclus. Le crit & eacute;re principal & eacute;tait le changement dans l'intensit & eacute; des maux de t & eacute;te. Les crit & eacute;res secondaires comprenaient l'effet sur la fr & eacute;quence mensuelle des c & eacute;phal & eacute;es, la sant & eacute; mentale et physique, l'humeur, le sommeil, la consommation d'analg & eacute;siques et les effets secondaires. Deux examinateurs ont & eacute;valu & eacute; et extrait les donn & eacute;es.R & eacute;sultats: Vingt-deux articles (2 essais contr & ocirc;l & eacute;s randomis & eacute;s, 11 cohortes et 9 rapports de cas/s & eacute;ries) portant sur 608 patients ont & eacute;t & eacute; recens & eacute;s. Une h & eacute;t & eacute;rog & eacute;n & eacute;it & eacute; consid & eacute;rable a & eacute;t & eacute; observ & eacute;e en termes de devis de l'& eacute;tude, de diagnostic des c & eacute;phal & eacute;es, de la cible et des param & eacute;tres de la FRP et de l'orientation de l'image. Les r & eacute;glages de la NRFP variaient (38-42 degrees C, 40-60 V, et 150-400 Ohms). Les & eacute;tudes ont d & eacute;montr & eacute; que la NRFP procurait une analg & eacute;sie significative et r & eacute;duisait la fr & eacute;quence des c & eacute;phal & eacute;es dans la migraine chronique de trois & agrave; six mois, et un soulagement significatif de la douleur pour la n & eacute;vralgie occipitale pendant six & agrave; dix mois. Des effets ind & eacute;sirables l & eacute;gers ont & eacute;t & eacute; signal & eacute;s dans 3,1 % des participants de la cohorte. Une minorit & eacute; d & eacute;& eacute;tudes ont fait & eacute;tat de r & eacute;sultats secondaires. La qualit & eacute; des donn & eacute;es probantes & eacute;tait faible.Conclusions: Les donn & eacute;es probantes de faible qualit & eacute; indiquent un b & eacute;n & eacute;fice analg & eacute;sique de la NRFP du NGO pour la n & eacute;vralgie occipitale et la migraine chronique, mais son r & ocirc;le pour d'autres types de c & eacute;phal & eacute;es doit & ecirc;tre davantage & eacute;tudi & eacute;. La cible et les param & eacute;tres optimaux de la NRFP restent floues. Des essais contr & ocirc;l & eacute;s randomis & eacute;s de haute qualit & eacute; sont n & eacute;cessaires pour explorer davantage le r & ocirc;le de cette intervention.
