Who might be able to join this trial:
- Adults between the ages of 18 and 80 who have been diagnosed with occipital neuralgia or migraines that are mainly felt in the back of the head.
- People whose occipital neuralgia diagnosis meets standard medical criteria, meaning they experience sharp, stabbing pain at the back of the head, tenderness over the affected nerve, and their pain was relieved for at least 3 hours after a numbing injection near that nerve.
- People diagnosed with migraines where most of the pain is at the back of the head, and whose pain responded to a nerve-blocking injection in that area.
- People whose pain has not been adequately controlled by oral medications, including anti-inflammatory drugs, opioids, or anti-seizure medications (meaning those medications reduced pain by less than 50%).
- People who experience headaches on at least 10 days per month.
Who may not be able to join:
- People with an unstable medical or psychological condition.
- People who are pregnant.
- People who have an implanted heart pacemaker or defibrillator that cannot be switched off.
