... Abstract Subcutaneous occipital nerve region stimulation is becoming an important part of the overall treatment regimen for a number of chronic headache syndromes refractory to nonsurgical, medical management. A combination of improved device technology and methodology, further understanding...

... Abstract Extremely high prevalence among general population along with the high percentage of treatment-refractory cases makes migraine headaches one of the potentially largest indications for neuromodulation. Cranial peripheral nerve stimulation targeting the occipital nerve(s) alone...

... Abstract Chronic occipital and suboccipital headache is a common symptom in patients with Chiari I malformation (CMI). These headaches may persist despite appropriate surgical treatment of the underlying pathology via suboccipital decompression, duraplasty and related procedures. Occipital...
