Gammacore

Hi

I am an episodic cluster headache sufferer but seem to be moving towards chronic as I don't get many days of relief anymore. I have been given the gammacore device to try and have been using it for the last two months- 6 minutes in the morning and 6 in the evening but haven't noticed much difference. Is it unlikely to work for me at this point or is it worth persevering for longer? I also noticed some people are using cold packs on their head. I haven't tried that. I'm taking verapamil and sumatriptan injections. Also oxygen. The injections are brilliant but I sometimes have 3 or 4 attacks a day. Any advice would be welcomed
