Abstract
Occipital nerve stimulation (ONS) provides pain relief in patients with primary headache disorders. Despite its low invasiveness, this neuromodulation technique is prone to technical difficulties with the implants. The mobility of the head-neck region can cause patient discomfort at the implantation sites, especially when conventional non-stretchable SCS leads are used in ONS. We therefore investigated a new flexible, body compliant lead (AnkerStim™, Medtronic) in a series of patients regarding efficacy, complications and overall outcome.
