Treatments
Experimental: Greater Occipital Nerve Block
Patients will receive greater occipital nerve block (GONB) either with local anesthetic (bupivacaine 0.5% 1.5 mL) or with onabotulinum toxin A injection.~Ultrasound-guided Greater Occipital Nerve Block (GONB) will be performed to more accurately locate the nerve through searching for the occipital artery in the medial one-third of the superior nuchal line between the occipital tubercle and mastoid process and injection will be done medial to the artery
Experimental: Medical Treatment
