Supratrochlear Nerve Block

Indications and Clinical Considerations

Supratrochlear nerve block is useful in diagnosing and treating painful conditions in areas subserved by the supratrochlear nerve, including supratrochlear neuralgia and pain secondary to herpes zoster. This technique is also useful in providing surgical anesthesia in the distribution of the supratrochlear nerve for lesion removal and laceration repair.
