Occipital nerve stimulation with the Bion® microstimulator for the treatment of medically refractory chronic cluster headache.
BACKGROUND Chronic cluster headache is a severely disabling neurological disorder. Evidence from open-label case series suggest that occipital nerve stimulation may be effective for the treatment of chronic cluster headache. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness of a microstimulator for chronic cluster headache. STUDY DESIGN Prospective, observational feasibility study plus medical record...

متن کاملStimulation of the greater occipital nerve: anatomical considerations and clinical implications.
BACKGROUND Stimulation of the greater occipital nerve has been employed for various intractable headache conditions for more than a decade. Still, prospective studies that correlate stimulation of the greater occipital nerve with outcome of patients with respect to alleviation of headache are sparsely found in literature. OBJECTIVE To identify anatomical landmarks for a reproducible stimulati...
متن کاملUltrasound imaging and occipital nerve stimulation.
OBJECTIVES Occipital nerve stimulation (ONS) is a peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) technique that has been used with success in the management of intractable chronic daily headaches (CDHs) and occipital neuralgia (ON). The technique involves the placement of a stimulating surgical or percutaneous electrode over the occipital nerves within the subcutaneous tissues at the skull base. Until re...
متن کاملOccipital nerve stimulation for chronic migraine: a randomized trial on subthreshold stimulation.
INTRODUCTION Occipital nerve stimulation (ONS) may provide pain relief in migraine patients. In this double-blinded trial we investigated the significance of paresthesia and possible placebo effects. METHODS Patients already treated with ONS reporting stable treatment effect were included. "Effective stimulation," "subthreshold stimulation" and "no stimulation" were compared. Patients cycled ...
