Functional Connectivity between Trigeminal and Occipital Nerves Revealed by Occipital Nerve Blockade and Nociceptive Blink Reflexes Thresholds for sensory or pain perception did not differ significantly between the repeated measurements on both sides. Our findings extend previous results related to anatomical and functional convergence of trigeminal and cervical afferent pathways in animals and suggest that the modulation of this pathway is of potential benefit in primary headache disorders.
