Cluster headache: potential options for medically refractory patients (when all else fails).
Tepper SJ, Stillman MJ.
SourceHeadache Center, Neurological Center for Pain, Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, OH, USA.

Abstract
The most evidence exists for mixed anesthetic/steroid occipital nerve blocks (which are also useful in non-refractory patients), deep brain stimulation, sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG) blocks, SPG radiofrequency ablation, and SPG stimulation with the Autonomic Technologies, Inc (ATI) SPG Neurostimulator, the latter approved in the European Union and reimbursed in several countries.
