I don't know anything about this but I figured I would pass it along. Says Cefaly has been used in Europe for years.
Headbands could help remedy migraine headaches
DENVER (KCNC/CBS) - A new treatment is being used to prevent migraine headaches, and it's drug-free.
The patient wears a device that looks like a high-tech headband once a day.
“My head would throb, breathing, it would throb,” said Robert Paradis, who had a migraine nearly every day for the last 18 years. “Pain would be centralized in one location almost like you're taking an ice pick and sticking it into the skull. Your whole life is run by the migraines.”
He tried several medications, physical therapy, biofeedback and even Botox, but nothing was working.
Then last April he tried Cefaly, which he said gave him immediate results.
Cefaly is a battery-powered plastic headband. Paradis sticks an electrode on his forehead, and then he puts the device on and wears it for 20 minutes every night.
Cefaly works by stimulating nerves beneath the forehead that trigger migraine headaches and can actually prevent them.
“We've been waiting for Cefaly,” headache specialist Dr. Cori Millen said.
Millen said Cefaly has been used in Europe for years, but was only approved by the Food and Drug Administration last March.
