What Is Occipital Neuralgia?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Occipital neuralgia is a chronic pain condition that affects the greater, lesser, or third occipital nerves<\/strong>, which run from the top of the spinal cord through the scalp. When these nerves are irritated or compressed, they can cause intense, stabbing pain at the base of the skull, sometimes radiating upward to the scalp, forehead, and behind the eyes.<\/p>\n<\/div>
