Resumen
RODRIGO, M.D.; QUERO, J. y CIA, P.. Occipital stimulation: Experience of the pain unit of the Zaragoza University Hospital. Rev. Soc. Esp. Dolor [online]. 2007, vol.14, n.8, pp.579-582. ISSN 1134-8046.
The last advances in analgesic neuromodulation, with implanted system, have allowed to extend their therapeutic possibilities with the positioning of extraspinal electrodes on peripheral nerves. The occipital stimulation is indicated in patients with cranial and facial pain, in the form of headache transformed (MT) or occipital neuralgia (NOT), refractory to the treatment. Diagnosis is confirmed by the remission or temporary improvement of the symptoms with the anesthetic suboccipital blockade. In psychological-mental conditions within normality and without contraindication to the surgery.
