Yahoo! News - This device is implanted under the cheek of a headache patient. A remote control held by the patient can trigger a slight electric charge to stop a cluster or migraine headache.

Developed by Autonomic Technologies Inc., the therapy has successfully completed a trial of its technology on European patients with cluster headaches, also known as “suicide” headaches, the Redwood City, Calif., company said Tuesday.
