Title: prolotherapy (lidocaine/dextrose)
Post by kevmd on Mar 28^th, 2008, 10:18am

This was on the local news last night. NOt ure if would work for CH but there is a video showing someone getting lidocaine injections. The link is below. I hope I am posting it the correct way.

My guess is that it wouldn't be that helpful - this seems to be similar to botox, somewhat similar but further removed from a nerve block. For tension and migraine headaches, might be worth a shot.
