The results of 18 greater occipital nerve release operations in 13 patients were analyzed. All patients had deep aching pain in the occipital area due to a whiplash trauma, and in all cases the pain was relieved temporarily by local anesthesia of the occipital nerve. The time from accident to operation was 6 to 96 months. The results of 13 (72.2%) operations were reported as good or excellent, although complete pain relief was not attained in any patient. It is concluded that neurolysis of the greater occipital nerve after whiplash injury can give meaningful pain relief in selected patients.
对13例患者进行的18次枕大神经松解手术结果进行了分析。所有患者均因挥鞭样损伤而出现枕部深部疼痛，且在所有病例中，枕神经局部麻醉后疼痛均得到暂时缓解。从事故到手术的时间为6至96个月。13例（72.2%）手术结果报告为良好或优秀，尽管没有任何患者实现完全疼痛缓解。得出的结论是，挥鞭样损伤后枕大神经松解术可使部分患者获得有意义的疼痛缓解。
