Vagus Nerve Stimulation for Migraine and Cluster Headaches

Vagus nerve stimulation is a promising alternative to medication for the treatment of both migraine and cluster headaches. Over the past decade, there has been a growth in our understanding how vagus nerve stimulation can affect the pathophysiology of migraine and cluster headaches. Moreover, there is compelling evidence emerging that vagus nerve stimulators are effective at both aborting and preventing both migraine and episodic cluster headache.
