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 the therapy are a reduction in the number of 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 for the service material.
Although I have been practicing using the stimulator for a year, I find the instructions helpful. The instructions for emergency situations are excellent. I can imagine that in the event of an accident you would be grateful to be able to present the document to the ambulance.
Another tip: the ID that identifies you as having an implant and that has to be presented at security checks, for example at the airport, could also be included in the service material.
...and on my own behalf: I am happy and grateful that I had the ONS operation a year ago.
