Abstract
The article focuses on a qualitative study on the long-term effectiveness of occipital nerve stimulation (ONS) in patients with medically intractable chronic cluster headache (MICCH). It reveals positive overall benefits of ONS on various aspects of quality of life, including increased mood, energy levels, control over symptoms, enhanced social participation, and improved daily activities, providing valuable insights for patients and practitioners considering this treatment for severe MICCH.
