Various factors may contribute to this neuralgic reaction of these nerves which produce headach of extracranial pathology which we have been studying clinically and experimentally. In this paper we report of the observation of changes in microcirculation of the great occipital nerve following occipital cooling and compression. To reverse the impaired microcirculation we adovocate early ambulation and active exercise. Intramuscular injection of adrenaline is expected to produce similar effect on microcirculation which was observed under the perspective microscope., Acta medica Nagasakiensia. 1968, 13(1-2), p.85-93}, pages = {85--93}, title = {Observation of Microcirculatory Change in the Great Occipital Nerve}, volume = {13}, year = {1968} }
