title: Occipital-device-related pain as a complication of deep brain stimulation.
abstract: Deep brain stimulation is an established treatment for movement disorders. We reported 4 patients (1.3%) of post-operative occipital headache related to the placement of the connection among 309 patients from 1998 to 2008. The patients were treated successfully by repositioning the connector into a groove created in the bone.
