Migraine's tough. But so are you.

Fight back & feel better with CEFALY,
a clinically proven eTNS device.

Calm the storm at its source

CEFALY stops migraine pain where it begins: in the cranial nerves.

During a migraine attack, your nervous system is on red alert. CEFALY uses gentle stimulation to calm the trigeminal nerve: the main pathway for migraine pain. Feel the headache fade away – and your other symptoms, too. When you use CEFALY’s PREVENT mode daily, the trigeminal nerve becomes less sensitive over time, so you experience fewer attacks. That means fewer days stuck in a dark room. More days to do what you love.

Start your 90-day in-home trial

The trigeminal nerve that runs through the head and face is like a superhighway for migraine pain. CEFALY targets this nerve with external trigeminal nerve stimulation (eTNS) — a tiny, precise electrical impulse.

The ACUTE treatment mode uses higher-frequency stimulation to disrupt pain signals transmission. The PREVENT treatment mode uses a lower-frequency stimulation to make the trigeminal nerve less sensitive over time.

As a result, your migraine pain is soothed and you have fewer attacks — all without serious adverse side effects.

How to get the best results with CEFALY

Begin at a lower stimulation intensity.

You’re in control. Briefly press the device button anytime during the first 14 minutes of a session to stabilize the intensity when you feel a strong vibration or stimulation sensation that is not painful.

Over time, increase the intensity to the level that’s most effective for you.

Find your sweet spot: a stimulation level that’s comfortable for you and effective for migraine. You don’t need to reach full intensity to benefit from treatment with CEFALY.

Use CEFALY while you’re in a relaxed state.

Because CEFALY is a therapeutic device, you should pause your usual activities during treatments. We recommend using CEFALY while sitting or reclining, with the head tilted back.

Use the PREVENT treatment mode every day.

Just as it takes more than two or three workouts to build muscles, it takes more than just a few sessions with CEFALY to change the behavior of the trigeminal nerve. Consistent, daily use is required.

Allow two to three months to see results with the PREVENT mode.

If you’re not satisfied, you can return the device for a refund within 90 days.

Use fresh and clean adhesive electrodes.

Your CEFALY works with gel electrodes that can be reused several times. When the electrodes dry out or become dirty, they must be replaced.

Track your progress with CeCe.
Use the free CeCe Migraine Management app to record your CEFALY sessions, set treatment reminders and log migraine attacks. CeCe syncs with the CEFALY Connected to show you session intensity and time remaining.
