New migraine treatment device
Exciting news! There are several new migraine treatment devices that have been recently developed or are in the pipeline. Here are a few examples:
- Cefaly: A non-invasive, wearable device that uses transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) to treat migraines. It's FDA-cleared and has been shown to reduce migraine frequency and severity.
- Spring TMS: A non-invasive, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) device that uses magnetic fields to stimulate the brain and reduce migraine symptoms. It's FDA-cleared and has been shown to be effective in reducing migraine frequency and severity.
- GammaCore: A non-invasive, handheld device that uses vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) to treat migraines. It's FDA-cleared and has been shown to reduce migraine frequency and severity.
- Migraine Buddy: A wearable device that uses a combination of TENS and VNS to treat migraines. It's a non-invasive, at-home treatment that's designed to be used during a migraine attack.
- Nerivio: A non-invasive, wearable device that uses TENS to treat migraines. It's a small, wristband-like device that's designed to be worn during a migraine attack.
- Cerebral Therapeutics' CT-001: A non-invasive, implantable device that uses VNS to treat migraines. It's currently in clinical trials and has shown promising results.
- ElectroCore's gammaCore Sapphire: An updated version of the original gammaCore device, which uses VNS to treat migraines. It's FDA-cleared and has been shown to be effective in reducing migraine frequency and severity.
These devices are all designed to provide relief from migraine symptoms, such as pain, nausea, and sensitivity to light and sound. While they're not a cure for migraines, they can be a valuable addition to a comprehensive treatment plan.
It's important to note that each device has its own unique features, benefits, and potential side effects. If you're considering trying one of these devices, it's a good idea to talk to your healthcare provider to determine which one might be best for you.
