First US patient receives cluster headache-stopping facial implant

by Larra Morris

While they may not be quite as well-known as migraines, cluster headaches are even more painful, and can occur several times a day. There’s presently no cure, although a new “neurostimulator” is claimed to help control them. A US clinical trial of the device has just begun, with a test subject recently having had one implanted beneath his cheekbone.

Developed by San Francisco-based Autonomic Technologies Inc (ATI), the “almond-sized” device was inserted through a 2-cm (0.8-in) incision in the recipient’s gum, at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center.
