-- STIMULATING THERAPY THAT HITS A NERVE: Early Research Shows New

Implanted Device Helps Alleviate Near-Daily Migraines

Stimulating a nerve might be just the ticket to help relieve the pain of

chronic migraine sufferers. Occipital nerve stimulation, in which an

implanted neurostimulator sends electrical impulses to the central

nervous system, has been shown to help 40 percent of near-daily migraine

sufferers who don't have success with standard pain medication.

Stimulating the occipital nerve, which ignites a tingling sensation,

appears to activate mechanisms that block the perception of pain in the

brain.
