NCT ID NCT05491915
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a small device that sends mild electrical pulses to nerves in the upper neck to relieve head pain from occipital neuralgia or cervicogenic headache. About 50 adults with these conditions will use the FDA-cleared SPRINT PNS system for up to 60 days. Researchers will measure changes in pain levels and daily interference.
