DOI: 10.1161/str.51.suppl_1.11
Abstract: Background: Sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG) stimulation enhances collateral flow, stabilizes blood-brain barrier, and showed evidence of benefit in patients with confirmed cortical involvement (CCI) when started 8-24h after onset in the ImpACT-24B randomized trial. To characterize… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/0333102420921156
Abstract: Introduction Cephalic autonomic symptoms occur in 27‒73% of migraine patients during attacks. The role of parasympathetic activation in migraine attack initiation remains elusive. Low frequency stimulation of the sphenopalatine ganglion increases parasympathetic outflow. In this… read more here.
