In supraorbital stimulation, or external trigeminal nerve stimulation (e-TNS) — sometimes referred to as transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) — your doctor recommends a specific level of microimpulses that target the upper branch of the trigeminal, or supraorbital, nerves, which research suggests are involved in migraine attacks.

These pulses are delivered using a device that you place on your head when you feel a migraine attack coming on, or during an attack to relieve pain. The device is available with a prescription or over-the-counter (no prescription required) in many pharmacies.

Once your doctor has suggested an appropriate level of stimulation for your migraine symptoms, you administer the treatment yourself at home.
