Apparatus for treating cerebral neurovascular disorders including headaches by neural stimulation

Methods, kits, apparatus, and compositions for inhibiting a cerebral neurovascular disorder, a muscular headache, or cerebral inflammation in a human patient are provided. The apparatus includes an electronic neural stimulator capable of stimulating a dorsonasal nerve structure associated with pain in a subject, thereby inhibiting the pain, and includes a power supply for providing the neural stimulation; and at least one electrical conduit coupled between the power supply and a dorsonasal nerve structure associated with the cerebral neurovascular disorder in a manner to transmit the neural stimulation to the dorsonasal nerve structure associated with the pain to thereby inhibit the pain. Cerebral neurovascular disorders include migraine and cluster headache. Muscular headaches include tension headaches and muscle contraction headaches..
