New Smartphone Controlled Migraine Device Almost Here

So, are you ready to fight migraine by “remote control”? Some people may have that chance within the next few weeks.

The device is called Nerivio Migra, a neuromodulation device, which stimulates nerves to fight migraine pain (read more details here – A “Smart” Non-Drug Arm Patch to Fight Migraine). It’s actually a patch which is attached to the upper arm.

Nerivio Migra is an abortive, meaning it is used when an attack hits, unlike some other devices that are used to prevent attacks. Back in the spring, the FDA approved the device for the United States, and the company (Theranica) is planning to have a limited release this year, with a wider release in 2020.

Trials are continuing to attempt to evaluate the value of the device for adolescents (if you’re in the USA, watch this Nerivio trial page and you might be able to participate).

As the product is closer to market, there is more information on Nerivio Migra, such as the instructional video below. For more information, be sure to visit the Theranica website.
