- Subject is felt to be at risk of non-compliance (e.g., for completing the diary or maintaining a stable headache medicine regimen) in the Investigator's opinion.
- Subject has had previous lesional radio-frequency ablation of the ipsilateral sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG).
- Subject has had blocks of the ipsilateral SPG in the last three (3) months.
- Subject has undergone botulinum toxin injections of the head and/or neck in the last three (3) months.
- Subject has or requires a pacemaker/defibrillator or other implantable device having a sense amplifier.
