That was something that had been taken from me 12 years before hand. A completely internal system by Medtronic was implanted. It's helped immensely, though the drawbacks are pack revisions & limitations due to the leads in the spine.
Sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG, and occipital Sphenopalatine ganglion blocks,(sgb). I still have excruciating pain.

In the beginning I tried several meds until finally my neurologist put me on Carbitrol. He increased my dosage slowly until the pain subsided and he kept me on it for the next 4 years. The side effects were affecting my job so 2 months ago my Dr weaned me off the meds. So far the pain hasn't returned.
