Abstract
Background Chronic Cluster Headache (CCH) is refractory to medical therapy in a small minority of patients. Neuroimaging implicateS the ipsilateral posterior hypothalamic region (PH) in its pathogenesis. PH deep brain stimulation (PH-DBS) has shown promise in the management of refractory CCH. Here we investigate the value of local field potentials (LFPs) in relation to the site of active DBS contact used for chronic stimulation.
