    Published results showed percutaneous peripheral nerve stimulation may provide clinically meaningful and statistically significant reductions in pain, disability and pain interference in patients with chronic low back pain. Christopher A. Gilmore, MD, and colleagues collected data on 89 patients with chronic low back pain who were implanted with percutaneous open-coil peripheral nerve

    Extremely painful chronic cluster headaches—sometimes referred to as ‘suicide headaches’ – can be prevented by stimulating the occipital nerve in the back of the head, according to research conducted by Professor Emeritus of Neurology Michel Ferrari from Leiden University Medical Center (LUMC). The study showed that nerve stimulation reduces the frequency and severity of attacks in patients who…

    isms underlying VNS efficacy on CSD are unknown. Here, we interrogated the central and peripheral mechanisms using VNS delivered either invasively (iVNS) or noninvasively (nVNS) in male Sprague-Dawley rats. Cortical spreading depression susceptibility was evaluated 40 minutes after the stimulation. iVNS elevated the electrical CSD threshold more than 2-fold and decreased KCl-induced CSD frequency…
