Clinically, if a patient shows a throbbing pain in the back of the brain, such as this, it is generally necessary to consider the above discomfort caused by occipital neuralgia. Occipital neuralgia is mostly caused by cervical spondylosis compressing the occipital nerve, so it is recommended to do a cervical MRI examination to understand the cervical spine. Medication may include mannitol, glycerol fructose, and small doses of hormonal dehydration therapy, and oral oxycarpine to relieve symptoms of neuralgia. Of course, if very severe cervical spondylosis is caused by nerve compression, surgery may be necessary.
