Summary

This study tests whether mild electrical pulses to nerves at the top of the neck can relieve pain from occipital neuralgia or cervicogenic headache. About 50 adults with these conditions will use the SPRINT® PNS device, which is FDA-cleared for up to 60 days of use. The goal is to see if the treatment reduces pain and helps people get back to daily activities.
