Summary

Background: Medically intractable chronic migraine (CM) is a disabling illness characterized by headache greater than 15 days per month. Method: A multicenter, randomized, blinded, controlled feasibility study was conducted to obtain preliminary safety and efficacy data on occipital nerve stimulation (ONS) in CM. Eligible subjects received an occipital nerve block, and responsers were randomized to adjustable stimulation (AS), preset stimulation (PS) or medical management (MM) groups.

Detailed description

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.
