ABOUT NEUROMODULATION
Neuromodulation for Migraine: An Overview for Healthcare Providers
Neuromodulation technology is a non-invasive therapy that gradually changes how nerves respond to migraine pain. Neuromodulation is clinically proven to both relieve migraine pain and reduce the frequency of migraine attacks.
Neuromodulation therapy is ideal for migraine patients who:
- Prefer non-pharmaceutical migraine treatment options
- Don’t respond to pharmaceutical treatments
- Cannot tolerate pharmaceutical therapies
- Are seeking clinically proven alternatives to pharmaceuticals
- Have prior medical conditions and are unable to take traditional pharmaceuticals
- Have limited access to outpatient treatment procedures

Types of neuromodulation therapy for migraine
Various forms of ENS (electrical nerve stimulation) have been used to treat migraine.
These include:
Occipital nerve stimulation (ONS)
- Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS)
- Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS)
- External trigeminal nerve stimulation (TNS or eTNS)
- Percutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (PENS)
Neuromodulation has been clinically proven to be safe and tolerable when used to treat migraine. In general, the side effects of using a neuromodulation device have been demonstrated to be minor and fully reversible with cessation of device use.
