Several medical devices using electrical neuromodulation have been developed to treat pain, spinal injuries, epilepsy, migraine, and other conditions. More than just a new technological solution, the possibility presented by these devices is significant.

Tom Picerno, formally diagnosed with chronic migraine, tells about his experience with Nerivio: "...I find it comforting to know that I have non-drug related therapies in my arsenal of migraine care options. I know for me it has been used effectively to replace my abortive triptans..."

Theranica CEO Alon Ironi explains how his innovative technology, Nerivio, alleviates migraines and other ailments—all without the use of prescription drugs. Theranica is an Israeli biomedical technology company.

Evidence suggests that pharmacologic agents often used to treat migraine may at times be ineffective, poorly tolerated, contraindicated, and—if used too frequently—can cause possible medication overuse headache, migraine chronification, and notable medical complications. A significant unmet need exists for effective and well-tolerated non-pharmacologic acute migraine therapy, according to Alan M. Rapoport, MD.
