Neuromodulation—specifically with non-invasive ENS (electrical nerve stimulation)—is a proven and rapidly evolving approach to treating migraine. Neuromodulation devices act directly on nerve pathways to interrupt the transmission of pain signals and also decrease the frequency of attacks.
When a patient is first diagnosed with migraine, the first and most commonly prescribed treatment approach is medication. Migraine medication includes over-the-counter pain relievers; acute or abortive medications that relieve migraine pain during an attack; and preventive medications to decrease the frequency of migraine attacks.
The drawback: many migraine medications have serious adverse effects, such as drowsiness, dizziness or nausea. Some pain relievers can cause medication overuse headache (MOH).
That’s why many people seek out drug-free migraine treatment options. Neuromodulation for migraine is one such treatment that has been clinically proven to be safe and effective.

What is migraine?
Here’s a brief overview of what we know about migraine causes and treatment.
Neuromodulation — specifically external trigeminal nerve stimulation — provides clinically proven pain relief and migraine prevention. But how does it work?
