Neurostimulation, including occipital nerve stimulation (ONS), shows promise for chronic cluster headache. Other techniques like spinal cord stimulation (SCS) are also emerging as potential treatments.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Neurosurgery

Background:

  • Chronic cluster headache is a debilitating primary headache syndrome.
  • Neurostimulation is gaining traction as a treatment option.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current clinical research on neurostimulation for chronic cluster headache.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing clinical studies on neurostimulation techniques.
  • Focus on occipital nerve stimulation (ONS).
  • Mention of other techniques like spinal cord stimulation (SCS) and sphenopalate ganglion stimulation.

Main Results:

  • Occipital nerve stimulation (ONS) has demonstrated favorable clinical outcomes.
  • ONS is increasingly used for refractory chronic cluster headache in specialized centers.
