SPG is a known therapeutictarget to treat headache
• SPG interventions have a long history in the treatment of Migraine and Cluster Headache– Anesthetic trans-nasal topical
blocks– Drug injection blocks– Pulsed RF and ablative blocks– Surgical procedures including
gamma knife
• Acute interventions have been reported sometimes to provide weeks of sustained pain relief

ATI Product Considerations
• Good cosmesis – majority of patients are women
• Minimally invasive implant– Difficult surgery would reduce acceptability
• Simple and easy explant– “no harm, no foul” lowers barriers to acceptance

The procedure begins by doing a submucosal injection of a vasoconstrictor and local anesthesic. An 1-2 cm incision is made approximately 3 to 5 mm superior to the mucogingival junction.

Periosteal elevators are used to elevate the tissue in the subperiosteal plane. Dissect the tissue until the inferior aspect of the zygomaticomaxillary buttress area is exposed, also called the zygomatic process of the maxilla.

The proprietary ATI introducer is then inserted subperiosteally behind the zygomaticomaxillary buttress, and advanced on the posterior side of the maxillary sinus to the pterygopalatine fossa.

ATI introducer
![Page 19: Creating a Device Around Headache Benjamin Pless, CEO Autonomic Technologies, Inc. North America Neuromodulation Society I 3 Session Las Vegas, December](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062717/56649e545503460f94b4ba70/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The neurostimulator is then placed in the PPF either by using the introducer as a guide, and sliding the neurostimulator probe between the bone and introducer, or by removing the introducer and placing the neurostimulator probe into the dissection path created by the introducer.
