Article Abstract
For a select group of intractable headache patients, DSO can offer significant benefit. However, 74% of those treated either failed to show significant improvement or were discontinued from the program for clinical reasons. The relatively low percentage of patients with demonstrated efficacy and unexpectedly high prevalence of misuse have clinical relevance.
