Due to the slow blood flow of both vertebrae or basilar artery, the patient shows posterior circulation ischemia. The patient may present with pain in the lower part of the head, and may also be accompanied by dizziness in severe cases. Treatment may be given to the patient to improve circulation. Ginkgo biloba preparations may be selected, and calcium antagonists may also be combined, such as flunarizine hydrochloride. Pain under the back of the head can also be seen in some patients with cervical spondylosis. Because the protruding cervical disc compresses the dural sac and stimulates the nerve roots, the patient can show pain under the back of the head, which can also be accompanied by soreness and numbness in both upper limbs. After cervical disc CT or MRI can be used to diagnose the disease, and traction, acupuncture, massage and other treatments can be given. Pain in the lower part of the brain can also be seen in some patients with cerebellar tonsillar hernia deformity, due to congenital abnormalities caused by patients showing pain in the back of the brain, after MRI sagittal examination can be found abnormal, if necessary, surgery.
