ONS Quick Guide – IPG
ONS IPG Supine Position Emergency Instructions
ONS IPG Prone Position Emergency Instructions
This treatment may only be performed in certified, specialized, and experienced centers. Crucial factors include a precise analysis of the headache type, the determination of the indication, implantation by a certified neurosurgeon, and the assurance of specialized long-term care with therapy and progress monitoring by the migraine center.
The goals of therapy are a reduction in headache days per month, a relevant reduction in headache intensity, a reduction in acute medications, and an improved quality of life.
As a service, we have developed a quick start guide and an emergency card in cooperation with our patients. Important operating steps can be easily understood and followed using these documents. We provide these documents for download here.
Thank you very much for the service materials. Although I have been using the stimulator for a year now, I find the instructions helpful.
The information on emergency situations is excellent. I can imagine that in the event of an accident, one would be grateful to be able to present this document at the ambulance station.
One more tip: the ID card that identifies you as having an implant and which has to be presented at security checks, e.g. at the airport, could also be included in the service materials.
…and on a personal note: I am happy and grateful that I had the ONS surgery done a year ago.
