Ok. My neurologist at Queens Square believes no one is performing ONS as the government aren't funding it for headaches. However i have been told that Dr Lambru at St Thomas' does. Does anyone know if this is the case. Thanks

I am guessing this is the ONS implant that is being asked about: they do it at the Radcliffe. My husband has just recently been put on the pathway for it due to medically intractible CCH. I understand it is funded when all the medical options have failed.

Hi Sarah

Yes, I think Dr Lambru and his colleagues offer ONSI, I know sufferers who have had batteries replaced etc.  They have a specific Pain and Neuromodulation department at St Thomas.

Does this ONS work for CCH?  I've had my headaches now for 2 years with very little time without a headache. I've tried all kinds of meds. And nothing works. Now I'm going to Dr. To see about the ONS  I'm hoping it will work
