2 Disclosures Nothing to disclose 2013 MFMER slide-2

3 Objectives Discuss invasive neuromodulation options for headache Deep brain stimulation Occipital nerve stimulation Sphenopalataine ganglion stimulation Discuss noninvasive neuromodulation options for headache Vagal nerve stimulation Supraorbital nerve stimulation Single-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation 2013 MFMER slide-3

4 Migraine is the 3 rd most prevalent medical disorder on the planet Migraine accounts for > 50% of the disability burden attributable to all neurological disease worldwide. Overall, it is the 4 th ranking cause among women and the 6 th ranking cause of all disease-associated disability worldwide. Lancet 2012; 380:

5 Neuromodulation: The Early Days 43 AD Scribonius Largus, Court Physician of Emperor Claudius: To immediately remove and permanently cure a headache,. a live black torpedo is put on the place which is in pain, until the pain ceases and the part grows numb.

6 Neuromodulation Methods For Headache Refractory headaches Deep brain stimulation [Hypothalamic] Occipital nerve stimulation [ONS] Sphenopalatine ganglion stimulation [SPGS] Vagal nerve stimulation [VNS] Supraorbital nerve stimulation [Cefaly] Single pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation [stms] Vestibular neuromodulation Invasive Non-Invasive Any headache
