  1. Prepare Your Skin: Ensure the skin on your upper arm where the device will be placed is clean and dry.
  2. Place the Device: Securely attach the Nerivio device to your upper arm using the provided strap. Ensure the electrodes make good contact with your skin.
  3. Start Treatment via App: Open the Nerivio app on your smartphone. Select the desired treatment type (acute or preventive) and initiate the session.

Treatment Protocols

  • Acute Treatment: Use for 45 minutes at the onset of a migraine headache or aura, ideally within 60 minutes of pain onset.
  • Preventive Treatment: Perform a Nerivio treatment every alternate day for at least 3 months to experience a reduction in migraine headache days.

Mechanism of Action

The Nerivio device employs Remote Electrical Neuromodulation (REN) technology to provide migraine relief. This mechanism involves a sophisticated interaction with the body's natural pain pathways:

  • Neuromodulation: The device acts via neuromodulation, stimulating Aδ & C fibres in the upper arm.
  • Strengthens CPM: This stimulation strengthens the Conditioned Pain Modulation (CPM) system through activation of descending pain pathways.
  • Neurotransmitter Release: It facilitates the release of serotonin and norepinephrine in the Periaqueductal Gray (PAG) and Rostral Ventromedial Medulla (RVM), which are crucial brain regions involved in pain processing.
  • Pain Signal Blocking: By releasing these neurotransmitters, Nerivio effectively blocks pain signals to the cortex, thereby aborting migraine pain.
