“…In another case report, a migraine headache was successfully treated with famciclovir, suggesting that the etiology of the migraine was due to a preexisting HSV infection. 11 It is also possible the sphenopalatine nerve block led to reactivation of HSV. There are several reports of reactivation of HSV following neuraxial anesthesia in obstetric patients, with reactivation occurring in 38% of patients.…”

A 36-year-old woman with no significant past medical history underwent a sphenopalatine ganglion block for treatment of a month-long migraine headache refractory to conservative treatment protocols. The headache resolved initially, but 1 day following the procedure, the headache recurred. The patient also developed an erythematous and edematous rash which cultures confirmed to be herpes simplex virus (HSV). Following several unsuccessful treatment modalities, the patient received valacyclovir, which resulted in resolution of her headache. Underlying HSV-1 infection may cause intractable migraine headache and nerve blocks may potentiate reactivation of latent HSV infection that caused the skin lesion in this case.

Background and purposePrevious studies have shown that human herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection may be associated with the onset of headache or migraine. We aimed to investigate the association between HSV infection and severe headache or migraine.Materials and methodsThe cross-sectional data on 5,730 participants aged 20–49 years were obtained from the 1999–2004 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). We used weighted logistic regression analysis to assess the association between HSV infection (HSV-1 gG-1 and HSV-2 gG-2) and severe headache or migraine, and performed subgroup analyses.ResultsOur study found that women, higher education, higher body mass index, better family conditions, smoking and alcohol consumption were all associated with severe headaches or migraines. After adjusting for confounding factors such as sex, age, race, and education, HSV-2 (+) was still significantly associated with severe headache or migraine (OR = 1.22, 95%CI:1.03–1.46, p = 0.0443). In subgroup analyses, we found that participants with HSV-1 (−) and HSV-2 (+) were also significantly associated with severe headache or migraine (OR = 1.41, 95%CI:1.04–1.91, p = 0.0281).ConclusionHSV-2 gG-2(+) was significantly associated with severe headache or migraine.
