FAQs
Occipital neuralgia may occur spontaneously, or as the result of a pinched nerve root in the neck (from arthritis, for example), or because of prior injury or surgery to the scalp or skull. Sometimes tight muscles at the back of the head can entrap the nerves.
Occipital neuralgia is a rare but painful condition that causes severe, piercing headaches. The pain is felt in the back of the head, behind the ears, or in the upper neck. For some people, just combing their hair or lying on a pillow can cause excruciating pain. For others, occipital neuralgia is felt as numbness.
Occipital neuralgia isn't life-threatening. With the proper treatment, pain improves for most people. Once your nerves heal, the pain usually goes away. You may need to continue stretching or taking medication to keep the pain from returning.
Author Gloria Steinem had survived the pain of an illness that went too many months misdiagnosed by her doctors, an illness finally correctly diagnosed as trigeminal neuralgia. Entrepreneur and author Melissa Seymour was diagnosed with TN in 2009 and underwent microvascular decompression surgery.
Occipital neuralgia is relatively rare. One study found that about 3 per 100,000 people have it. However, it often overlaps with other illnesses, including migraines. People with migraines can also have pain in and around their eyes.
