Dedicated Lead for Occipital Nerve Stimulation for Treatment of Refractory Head Pain: Technical Note

Authors: Iris Smet, MD, Ali Jerjir, MD, Marieke Devos, MSc and Jean-Pierre Van Buyten, MD, PhD

Abstract: Occipital nerve stimulation (ONS) has been used for many years for the treatment of refractory headache and head pain. Its effect has been documented in case series and cohort studies. The positive clinical benefits, however, have been accompanied by high complication rates, predominantly due to lead migration and breakage. We report our institutional experience with performing occipital nerve stimulation using a dedicated, custom made, ONS lead.
