The trigeminal systems is the sensory system that innervation cranial vessels and dura mater via its first ophthalamic division. Pain fibers from the trigeminal nerve descends to the second cervical cord segment where fibers from the occipital region transverse the dorsal root ganglion to converge on second order neurons. C2 root ganglion block therapy is the most efficacious treatment of the acute attack of migraine.
