Migraine Relief Treatment with Omega Procedure®
Overview of the Omega Procedure®
The Omega Procedure® is a targeted neurostimulation therapy that delivers on-demand relief
from chronic migraine pain. By implanting ultra-thin leads beneath the skin near key cranial nerves
and connecting them to a discreet neurostimulator, patients gain direct control over their headache triggers.
Therapeutic Benefits
- Drug-free management: Avoids daily medications and systemic side effects.
- On-demand activation: Handheld remote lets you engage therapy at the first sign of pain.
- Minimally invasive: Micro-incisions and outpatient procedures minimize downtime.
- Personalized care: Clinicians adjust stimulation parameters to your unique response.
Procedure Phases
Trial Phase
- Local anesthesia and placement of temporary leads under the skin.
- Home-use testing period to assess headache reduction and comfort.
- Evaluation meeting to decide on permanent implant based on trial results.
Permanent Phase
- Outpatient implantation of the internal neurostimulator under light sedation.
- Subcutaneous routing of leads from the device to the head.
- Initial programming and patient training before same-day discharge.
Mechanism of Action
By delivering gentle electrical impulses to peripheral nerves, the Omega Procedure®:
- Modulates nerve signal transmission to “close the gate” on pain pathways.
- Normalizes hyperactive neural firing associated with migraine onset.
- Reduces cortical spreading depression—the wave of activity underlying migraine aura.
Safety & Quality Assurance
Every step follows strict surgical and device protocols:
- Sterile operating-room techniques and antibiotic prophylaxis minimize infection risk.
- FDA-cleared hardware undergoes rigorous testing for biocompatibility and electrical safety.
- Board-certified neurologists and pain specialists perform the procedure with real-time neuromonitoring.
Patient Support & Follow-Up
Ongoing care ensures sustained relief:
- Remote programming via secure telehealth platforms for fine-tuning.
- Regular follow-up visits for wound checks, device interrogation, and therapy optimization.
- Comprehensive education on device handling, troubleshooting, and lifestyle integration.
Next Steps
- Consultation: Discuss your headache history and review treatment options.
- Screening: Undergo neurological evaluation and any recommended imaging.
- Trial Phase: Experience temporary lead placement and assess relief at home.
- Permanent Implant: Proceed to long-term neurostimulation for ongoing migraine control.
under your skin in targeted areas, giving you an initial glimpse of the relief Omega can offer. This phase is all about testing and adapting the treatment to your unique needs.
