Abstract in brief

  • The study evaluates the long-term safety and effectiveness of a treatment called EquiPENS, which uses electrical nerve stimulation to manage trigeminal-mediated headshaking in horses, finding that it can be effective with mostly mild complications.
  • Results from 168 horses showed that over half experienced remission of headshaking, with an average remission lasting around 95 weeks, and some horses relapsed but responded well to additional procedures.
  • The study acknowledges limitations like lack of a control group and no identified predictors for treatment success, but overall suggests that neuromodulation could be a promising treatment option for affected horses.]
