Peripheral nerve stimulation is a therapy that uses mild electrical pulses from an implanted device to manage the pain and disability associated with intractable chronic migraine. The Peripheral Nerve Stimulation for Intractable Chronic Migraine Media Kit includes news releases, backgrounders, illustrations, photography and animations.

 Illustration of PNS for Intractable Chronic Migraine Head (High Resolution)
The St. Jude Medical Genesis™ neurostimulation system is the only fully implantable neurostimulation system that is approved in Europe for peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) of the occipital nerves for the management of the pain and disability for patients diagnosed with intractable chronic migraine. PNS for intractable chronic migraine involves the delivery of mild electrical pulses to the occipital nerves that are located just beneath the skin at the back of the head. A small electrical lead or leads are placed under the skin and connected to the Genesis neurostimulator, a pacemaker-like device, which produces the pulses of stimulation.
