Cluster Headaches Can Be Treated With An Implant At The Base Of The Neck
They Are So Severe That They Are Also Called “Suicide Headaches”
Cluster headaches are painful that they are also called “suicide headaches”. There are different from migraines and tension headaches, attacking one side of the face. Researchers have developed an implantable device to relieve this condition. It applies a mild stimulus near the occipital nerves at the base of the head via wires under the skin. These wires are connected to a small battery also implanted under the skin, generating an electric current which interferes with the pain signals and reducing the headache intensity, duration, and frequency, and also decreasing the use of medication.
