May 14th, 2022 - After an interpretation trajectory, the Dutch Quality of Healthcare Institute recommended that for five indications, spinal cord stimulation, dorsal root ganglion stimulation, or occipital nerve stimulation, together referred to as neurostimulatio...

Mar 15th, 2022 - This paper will examine the efficacy and safety of occipital nerve stimulation as a non-pharmacological alternative treatment for migraine. Migraine is characterized as a primary headache disorder with possible premonitory and aura phases, both of...

Feb 22nd, 2022 - Current pharmacologic prophylactic strategies for migraine have exhibited limited efficacy, with response rates as low as 40%-50%. In addition to the limited efficacy, the acceptability of those pharmacologic prophylactic strategies were unaccepta...

Feb 8th, 2022 - We reviewed the literature that explored the use of central and peripheral neuromodulation techniques for chronic daily headache (CDH) treatment. Although the more invasive deep brain stimulation (DBS) is effective in chronic cluster headache (CCH...

Dec 12th, 2021 - In this narrative review, the current literature on neurostimulation methods in the treatment of chronic cluster headache is evaluated. These neurostimulation methods include deep brain stimulation, vagus nerve stimulation, greater occipital nerve...

Oct 11th, 2021 - Medically intractable pain caused by occipital neuralgia can be very difficult to control with traditional pain management. Peripheral nerve stimulation which is used in migraines and cluster headache can be an alternative for these patients with ...

Sep 17th, 2021 - The study is an investigator-initiated, prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled, double blind clinical trial that aims to investigate the effect of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) and occipital nerve stimulation (ONS) on att...

Nov 13th, 2020 - Initial reports of managing migraine headache with ONS described a technique in which electrical leads were implanted in the subcutaneous space transverse to the occipital nerve, in the back of the head, under x-ray guidance. The leads were tunnel...

Oct 12th, 2011 - The therapy under investigation involves a Medtronic neurostimulation device which delivers electrical impulses via insulated lead wires placed under the skin near the occipital nerves at the base of the head.

Sep 5th, 2008 - Chronic migraine and chronic cluster headaches are among the most disabling medical illnesses, inflicting severe functional impairment. These headache subtypes are particularly resistant to current treatment modalities, with the majority of chroni...

Jul 28th, 2021 - Occipital nerve stimulation may help safely prevent attacks of medically intractable chronic cluster headache, according to a new study. Medically intractable chronic cluster headaches are unilateral headaches that cause excruciating pain during a.

Jul 28th, 2021 - Occipital nerve stimulation may help safely prevent attacks of medically intractable chronic cluster headache, according to a new study. Medically intractable chronic cluster headaches are unilateral headaches that cause excruciating pain during a...

Jul 27th, 2021 - Nighttime sleep duration had a protective association against early beta amyloid accumulation in cognitively unimpaired older adults. (JAMA Network Open) Bone loss was linked to cognitive decline in women, independent of aging, with no evidence of...

Oct 9th, 2015 - NEW ORLEANS — Long-term pain reduction with combined occipital and supraorbital nerve stimulation for chronic migraine does not imply improved long-term functional outcome, a new study shows. "Nowadays, neuromodulation has been established as a vi...

Mar 4th, 2014 - LAS VEGAS—In cluster headache, four neuromodulation techniques have been tested—deep brain stimulation (DBS), vagal nerve stimulation (VNS), sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG) stimulation, and occipital nerve stimulation (ONS). At the 17th Annual Meeti.
