Bridge device

The active Bridge device delivers electrical stimulation to the cranial and occipital nerves.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Bridge device

Intervention Type DEVICE

Bridge is a percutaneous nerve field stimulation device which uses alternating currents of stimulation over a large field and with higher voltage in order to influence central pain areas.

Sham device

The sham device has the same appearance and will require the same placement technique as the Bridge (active) device but will not deliver electrical impulses

Group Type SHAM_COMPARATOR

Sham device

Intervention Type DEVICE

The sham device has the same appearance and will require the same placement technique as the Bridge (active) device but will not deliver electrical impulses.
