Occipital neuromodulation method |
| 摘要 |
A method of treating pain in a subject includes the step of positioning a tip of one or more leads subcutaneously in the occipital region of a subject's scalp, where the leads are configured to conduct an electrical signal along an occipital nerve into the brain. The leads are energized to conduct the electrical signal along the occipital nerve and the electrical signal is adjusted to a level effective to decrease the subject's pain over time and so that the subject cannot feel the lead being energized. |

1. A method of treating pain in a subject comprising the steps of:
positioning a tip of at least one lead subcutaneously in an occipital region of a subject's scalp substantially along an imaginary line connecting the tops of the subject's ears, the at least one lead configured to conduct an electrical signal along an occipital nerve into the brain; and energizing the at least one lead to conduct the electrical signal along the occipital nerve into the brain; and adjusting the electrical signal to a level effective to decrease the subject's pain over time and wherein the subject cannot feel the lead being energized; and maintaining the level of the electrical signal below a threshold of perception for at least a month. |
