Abstract
Numerous studies of peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) over occipital and trigeminal nerves have shown it to be highly effective for neuropathic pain. However, a variety of difficulties limit widespread use of these techniques, including cosmetic concerns, difficulties tunneling to the IPG, and a high incidence of adverse events such as lead erosion, migration, lead fracture, disconnection and infection. This is a prospective, randomized, clinical study investigating a novel, miniature, wirelessly powered peripheral nerve stimulation treatment for the treatment of chronic craniofacial pain. The nerves targeted include peripheral branches of trigeminal as well as nerves originating from upper cervical dermatomes, including greater and lesser occipital nerves.
