We investigated the safety and efficacy of on-demand SPG stimulation for chronic CH (CCH).METHODS: A multicenter, multiple CH attack study of an implantable on-demand SPG neurostimulator was conducted in patients suffering from refractory CCH. Each CH attack was randomly treated with full, sub-perception, or sham stimulation. Pain relief at 15 minutes following SPG stimulation and device- or procedure-related serious adverse events (SAEs) were evaluated.FINDINGS: Thirty-two patients were enrolled and 28 completed the randomized experimental period.
