The pain may be chronic or intermittent and may extend all the way up the scalp to the forehead. It is associated with head and neck injury, osteoarthritis of the cervical spine, and, less often, with spinal infections or tumors. Treatments vary but sometimes include analgesic injections, corticosteroids, or other pain relievers.Occipital neuralgia is a condition characterized by pain experienced on one side of the back of the head, which arises due to the entrapment or compression of an occipital nerve."}
