NEUROMODULATION: The safety and efficacy of 10kHz spinal cord stimulation in the treatment of refractory chronic migraine: a prospective long-term open-label study

Chronic migraine (CM) is considered a severe migraine, affecting 1.
4-2.
2% of the population, and the annual incidence of episodic migraine (EM) is 2.
5%
.

Very few patients with CM have developed resistance to treatment

10 kHz spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is a minimally invasive neurostimulation therapy and a promising treatment for patients with various chronic pain syndromes
.

The exact mechanism of 10 kHz SCS has not yet been fully elucidated

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and long-term effectiveness of delivering 10kHz SCS to the upper cervical spinal cord without drug use

Diagnostic screening

Subject flow chart

As measured by the MIDAS and HIT-6 scales, headaches were improved throughout the study
.

On both scales, all participants were classified as severe pain at baseline

Moderate to severe headache days and migraine days

The results of the study suggest that 10khz spinal cord electrical stimulation may be a long-term effective treatment option for rCM
.

During the one-year follow-up, the average MMD frequency dropped by 9.

In short, high neck 10khzscs may be an emerging treatment for patients with rCM
.

This therapy may be a safe, effective and well-tolerated treatment

In short, high neck 10khzscs may be an emerging treatment for patients with rCM
