Eon Mini neurostimulator (St Jude Medical ) receives CE Mark for Migraine
St. Jude Medical has gained approval for its Eon neurostimulators, including its Eon Mini, which the company claims as the world's smallest rechargeable device in the space. the device is as big as a man's watch and weighs about 1 ounce, powered by a battery that can recharge for about 10 years. The peripheral nerve stimulation device delivers mild electrical pulses to the occipital nerves just under the skin in the back of the head, via leads placed under the skin connecting to the device, a little like how a pacemaker works. Eon follows St. Jude's Genesis line, which gained its CE mark a little more than a year ago.
