Summary |
This pilot study aimed at assessing the effect of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) of the occipital nerve (ON) to treat chronic refractory headache secondary to intracranial endovascular procedures (iEVP) in 4 patients. The duration of ON-TENS therapy was only 1 month (n=2) or longer than 4 months (n=2). Overall, pain intensity decreased from 7.8 (on a 0–10 scale) at baseline to 0.8 at 6 months after ON-TENS therapy initiation (−90%), while drug treatment was reduced from 34.3 to 0.8 (−98%) on the medication quantification scale. ON-TENS is a simple technique that may benefit patients with post-iEVP refractory headache.
