Migraine treatment with Cefaly device for trigeminal nerve

Migraines typically target the trigeminal nerve, the head's largest and most intricate nerve. The nerve's upper branch can be accessed via the forehead's skin. The Cefaly device is designed to stimulate the trigeminal nerve externally, making it an excellent non-medication treatment option for migraines that most patients can tolerate well. The Cefaly is a small device placed on the forehead between the brow arches. It generates tiny electrical impulses through the skin through a self-adhesive electrode. By acting on the orbital branch of the trigeminal nerve, electrical impulses reduce pain, relax muscles and decrease the frequency of migraine attacks with regular use. Cefaly offers both prevention and treatment options for migraines. The Cefaly device can be operated in multiple modes based on the severity of the pain. Typically, higher frequencies have a calming effect on the nervous system and are employed to alleviate headaches. Conversely, lower frequencies are utilized for short sessions in a prophylactic program. When dealing with an acute headache attack, it is suggested to undertake a 60-minute session in the treatment mode. For prevention purposes, a 20-minute session daily is recommended to alleviate the frequency and severity of migraine symptoms. The Cefaly device is also suitable for home or workplace use.
