@A MyMigraineTeam Member It's called Occipital nerve stimulation & from what I've read it sends electrical impulses to the Occipital nerves to help "mask" the pain.I'm going to ask my doc about it when I next see him.

I tried the Dr Reed trial for a week and didn’t have a migraine the whole week I had it on. That is really a plus for me so I’m getting ready to have the permanent one put in.

@A MyMigraineTeam Member wow,I'm glad it's worked for you! So do you still get auras? I only get a little visual aura but it's mostly real sensitivity to smells & light. Any side effects?x

I had a neural stimulator implant inserted in January. I had 2 trials to begin with. It has relieved the chronic pain. It doesn't get rid of the rest of the migraine symptoms though - however I am really pleased I had the surgery.
