What is the pain next to the back of the head?

A CT or MRI scan of the head should first be performed to rule out brain stem and cerebellar hemorrhage, infarction, tumor, and cranio-cervical junction deformity. If no structural abnormalities are found on the head imaging, the condition is most likely due to cervical spondylosis or associated occipital neuralgia. Cervical spondylosis is often accompanied by occipital neuralgia, which is generally manifested under excessive fatigue, drinking, cold, damp and other incentives. It will cause dull pain, tingling or jumping pain in the back of the occipital region. Radiation can be carried out to the top of the head and behind the ears. Treatment can be given symptomatic analgesic treatment, mecobalamin nutritional nerve treatment, local physiotherapy, massage and other methods to alleviate, and local closed treatment can be applied when necessary.
