Analysis of Adverse Events in the Management of Chronic Migraine by Peripheral Nerve Stimulation

In this study, we analyze device‐ and procedure‐related adverse events (AEs) from a recent prospective, multicenter, double‐blinded controlled study that utilized peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) of occipital nerves for management of chronic migraine.
