Occipital Nerve Stimulation

Occipital Nerve Stimulation (ONS) is a medical treatment used mainly for chronic headaches, such as migraines. It involves implanting a small device under the skin near the back of the head, which sends electrical pulses to the occipital nerves—nerves that help control pain in the head and neck. By stimulating these nerves, ONS can help reduce the frequency and intensity of headache attacks. This approach is typically considered when other treatments have not provided adequate relief, and it aims to improve the quality of life for individuals suffering from persistent headache conditions.
