A MyMigraineTeam Member asked a question 💭
Sagle, ID

A battery is surgical implanted in the chest. It has four leads going to either side of the occipital and over each eyebrow which delivers neuro-stimulation. If so, did it work? How much relief did you experience? Tell me your experience. Thank you.
