Participant Flow

Study design Run-in: participants reported their migraine attacks, headache level and associated symptoms during a 4-weeks period. Treatment phase: Participants used the Nerivio device for the treatment of migraine attacks during a period of up to 8-week. participants reported their migraine attacks, headache level and associated symptoms. follow up (optional): Participants were asked to incorporate the Nerivio into their standard care according to their preferences.

Active Device
Treatment of acute migraine with an active form of Nerivio device Nerivio: Nerivio™ is an FDA-authorized remote electrical neuromodulation (REN) device for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura in patients 18 years old or above who do not have chronic migraine. The device delivers transcutaneous electrical stimulation to the upper arm to induce conditioned pain modulation (CPM) that activates a descending endogenous analgesic mechanism. The treatment is self-administered and controlled by a smartphone application.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 2 hours post treatment

The percentage of subjects reporting, for the test treatment, pain relief at 2 hours post-treatment without the use of rescue medication. Pain relief is defined as an improvement from severe or moderate pain to mild or no pain, or from mild pain to no pain. Pain level was reported using a 4-point Likert scale (0 -No pain, 1 - Mild pain, 2 - Moderate pain, 3- Severe pain)
