Implanted Occipital Nerve Stimulators for Chronic Headache

Chronic headache is a debilitating condition that can significantly impact a person's quality of life. This study investigates the use of implanted occipital nerve stimulators as a treatment modality for chronic refractory headache. The study explores the effectiveness of this approach in managing various headache types, including migraine, chronic daily headache, and occipital neuralgia. The study highlights the potential of occipital nerve stimulation (ONS) as a treatment option for patients who have not responded to traditional therapies. This research is like discovering a hidden oasis in the vast desert of headache research, offering a potential solution for managing this chronic condition.
