Case report: Migraine resolution post bilateral subthalamic deep brain stimulation

Background: Chronic migraine can be challenging to treat and despite recent advances in treatment, there are cases that do not respond to current available pharmacological therapies. Case: We report a case of a 64-year-old male with a long history of chronic migraine who developed severe tremor-dominant Parkinson’s disease. Conclusion: After implantation of subthalamic deep brain stimulation (DBS), he reported not only benefit for his parkinsonian symptoms, but also a complete remission of his migraine attacks.
