ONS is a valuable tool in the treatment of patients with refractory CCH. According to our data, the potential side effects and complication rates of the operation are small. With a meticulous selection of patients by an interdisciplinary team, CCH can bed improve in the majority of the patients. Yet, the optimal parameters for the stimulation regarding pulse width and frequency remain unclear. For this reason, we started a prospective single-center observational trial at our center in October 2009, including patients with ONS, to identify the best stimulation parameters.
