The disclosure describes an implantable neurostimulator device for
delivery of neurostimulation to treat head, neck, or facial pain or
tension, including pain or tension caused by occipital neuralgia. The
device may be a neurostimulation device having a miniaturized housing
with a low profile that permits subcutaneous implantation at a
stimulation site directly adjacent a neuralgic region at the back of the
neck of a patient. For example, the device may be subcutaneously
implanted at the back of the neck of a patient to relieve symptoms of
occipital neuralgia.
