Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Patients with GH tumor who have undergone transnasal pituitary tumor resection or craniotomy for pituitary tumor resection in the past (3 months or more) and biochemical remission were achieved; 2. Aged between 18 and 60 years; 3. Regardless of gender; 4. The patient still has headaches after the operation, the duration of each attack is more than 4 hours, and the attack is more than 3 times per month; 5. The patient is in a headache attack period; 6. A clear consciousness, able to understand and sign an informed consent form. GH tumor is diagnosed as below: Preoperative glucose tolerance test (OGTT) simultaneously determines that the nadir value of GH is greater than 1ng/ml, and the level of IGF-1 is greater than the upper limit of the age-sex-matched normal value. Biochemical remission is determined as below: The random GH value or the nadir GH value during OGTT is less than 1ng/ml, and the IGF-1 level is within the normal range of age and gender matching;

Patients with severe medical complications, such as heart, lung, kidney, liver and other diseases, severe hypertension or poor blood pressure control, hyperglycemia, blood diseases; 7. Those with mental illness who cannot cooperate well with the experiment; 8. Patients with acute infection or open wounds; 9.
