Occipital Nerve Stimulator?

Ok.. so everyone has heard of a TENS unit? ( that little machine they use at the Chiropractor to stimulate your muscles?) ..

Well when I was doing some research on Greater Occiptial Nerve Blocks I came accross something called an Occipital Nerve Stimulator. Its like a Tens unit that works on the Occiptial Nerve, it's the size of an Oreo, and is implanted under the skin and works on the brain/ occiptal nerves!

I'm just curious if anyone has ever heard of this.. or had it done.. ??
It sounds like something that could possibly be a treatment method for us.

" Thank you!! .. Although the GONB's didnt give me much relief.. This sounds like it could be great for a lot of people! and still work, even if the injections havent..!! .. I'm going to have to ask about this when I go to the Neuro! .. How awesome would that be , if it worked like GONB's and just stimulated those nerves, and got rid of all our h/a's FOREVER!! "
