Abstract
The differential diagnosis for headache and facial pain is vast. The practitioner must utilize a multidisciplinary approach in order to arrive at a precise diagnosis. As explored in prior chapters, this includes careful history and physical examination as well as imaging. In this chapter, we discuss the use of image-guided interventions to aid in the diagnosis and ultimate management of pain symptomatology.
