The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Occipital Nerve Stimulation System (ONSS) in treating chronic cluster headache in adults. The study aims to answer the following questions: * What adverse events or medical complications occur following ONSS implantation and stimulation? * Does treatment with the ONSS reduce the frequency of cluster headache attacks compared with baseline? Participant Involvement Participants will: * Undergo implantation of the ONSS device. * Use the ONSS for a 48-week treatment period. * Attend scheduled clinic visits for follow-up assessments and device evaluations. * Maintain a diary documenting cluster headache attacks and use of rescue medications. * Complete study-related assessments throughout the study period.

Change in the mean weekly attack frequency
Time frame: From enrollment to 48 weeks post-activation
50% Responder rate
Proportion of subjects achieving a ≥ 50% reduction in mean weekly attack frequency compared to baseline
Time frame: From enrollment to 48 weeks post-activation
30% Responder rate

Time frame: From enrollment to 48 weeks post-activation
Change in the mean number of weekly attack treatments compared to baseline
Attack treatments include but are not limited to triptan injections or nasal sprays or pills, 02 inhalations
Time frame: From enrollment to 48 weeks post-activation
Scalp distribution of stimulation-induced paraesthesia per scalp region assessed using an 18-region scalp mapping tool
Scalp distribution of stimulation-induced paraesthesia will be assessed weekly and recorded in the participant's electronic diary. Participants will indicate the location(s) of perceived paraesthesia on a standardized scalp map divided into 18 predefined regions. The distribution will be quantified as the percentage of reported paraesthesia across these regions.
Time frame: From enrollment to 48 weeks post-activation
